Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an orthopoxvirus in the Poxviridae family. The current multinational monkeypox outbreak has now spread to 96 countries that have not historically reported monkeypox, with most cases occurring among gay, bisexual, and other men who sex (1,2). first case United States associated this was identified May 2022 Massachusetts (1); been all 50 states, District of Columbia (DC), one U.S. territory. MPXV transmitted by close contact infected persons or animals; infection...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has strained healthcare systems with patient hospitalizations and deaths. Anti-spike monoclonal antibodies, including bamlanivimab, have demonstrated reduction in hospitalization rates clinical trials, yet real-world evidence is lacking.We conducted a retrospective case-control study across single system of nonhospitalized patients, age 18 years or older, documented positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) testing, risk factors...
Abstract The number of transplant infectious disease (TID) fellowship programs has expanded rapidly in the past 5 years, with creation many new and expansion training tracks dedicated years as demand for TID physicians grows drastically. This editorial focuses on major factors complexities that should consider creation, well highlighting examples formative experiences, programmatic structure, fellow resources trainees can use to identify their desired career path TID. image

ABSTRACT As part of an ongoing series social media discussions, the Transplant Infectious Diseases Early Career Network hosted open forum for transplant infectious disease community to discuss development research careers junior faculty. Topics discussed included opportunities research, identifying potential questions, institutional support, grant funding, common barriers and trainee involvement. The highlighted symbiotic relationships between faculty trainees. insights from provide a...
Evaluating organ suitability for transplantation based on infection risk is a core competency in transplant infectious disease (TID). It unclear if trainees have opportunities to practice during training. We created simulation curriculum develop and evaluate this skill among (ID) trainees.We six questions about risk. During trainees' TID rotations, faculty texted or paged the cases posing as coordinator. Trainees had 15 min ask before deciding of explained their clinical reasoning survey....
Donor-derived infections in solid organ transplantation can be prevented by risk stratification of donors based on available information, and inquiries surrounding possible or diagnosed infection are common questions posed to transplant infectious disease subspecialists. This article outlines the five key steps addressing a donor call from team systematic approach, focusing recipient-specific factors, transmissibility treatment infections, likelihood patient's future offers mortality...
Bartonella quintana infection can cause severe disease that includes clinical manifestations such as endocarditis, chronic bacteremia, and vasoproliferative lesions of the skin viscera. B. bacteria is transmitted by human body louse (Pediculus humanus corporis) associated with homelessness limited access to hygienic services. We report in 2 kidney transplant recipients United States from an organ donor who was experiencing homelessness. One manifested atypically, other minimally symptomatic;...
Creating protocols surrounding the guidance of prevention and treatment infections in transplantation is an integral part being a transplant infectious disease physician. This piece outlines key components for success developing protocol, with example protocol template available readers. Collaborating effectively within multi-disciplinary team to develop, implement, assess efficacy skill that enhances relationship our colleagues improves patient outcomes by standardizing care delivered.
ABSTRACT Hypermutator lineages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa arise frequently during the years airway infection experienced by patients with cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis but are rare in absence chronic structural lung disease. Since onset COVID-19 pandemic, large numbers have remained mechanically ventilated for extended periods time. These prone to acquire bacterial pathogens that persist many weeks opportunity evolve within pulmonary environment. However, little is known about what types...
Infection is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ventricular assist devices (VAD). The impact colonization multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) on outcomes this cohort unknown. Patients VAD support from July 2008 to September 2018 at single site were evaluated for MDRO after implantation. MDROs included methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus species, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing gram-negative bacteria. 378 433...
