To characterize factors associated with increased risk of outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) complication.Retrospective cohort study.Four hospitals within NYU Langone Health (NYULH).All patients aged ≥18 years OPAT episodes who were admitted to an acute-care facility at NYULH between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2020, had infectious diseases consultation during admission.Overall, 8.45% suffered a vascular complication 6.04% complication. Among these patients, 19.95%...
Abstract We assessed factors associated with increased risk to loss of follow-up infectious diseases staff in OPAT patients. Discharge subacute healthcare facilities is strongly follow-up. did not identify sociodemographic disparities. Poor communication between providers and remains a serious issue.
BACKGROUND Herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) affects nearly 1 in 5 adults the United States. Complications such as viral hepatitis and dissemination are rare immunocompetent hosts. In this report, we describe a case of secondary to disseminated HSV-2 an patient with recurrent fevers elevated aminotransferases. CASE REPORT A 57-year-old man history type 2 diabetes hypertension was admitted right index finger lesion concerning for abscess. He underwent successful incision drainage started on...
Background Long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in December 2021. This initial phase of implementation represents a prime opportunity to ensure equitable LAI-PrEP provision communities often underrepresented PrEP care before disparities access uptake emerge. Herein, we describe EquiPrEP Project which utilizes an equity-oriented science framework optimize rollout urban safety-net clinic New York City. Methods The...
Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused more than 675 million confirmed cases and nearly 7 deaths worldwide [1]. While testing for COVID-19 was initially centered in health care facilities, with required reporting to departments, it is increasingly being performed the home rapid antigen [2]. Most at-home tests are self-interpreted not reported a provider or department, which could lead delayed underreporting of [3]. As such, there strong possibility that may...
Background: Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is used in the outpatient setting to treat infectious conditions that require a prolonged course of antimicrobials. OPAT has been shown decrease length hospital stay and healthcare costs without compromising patient care become widely accepted practice nationally. Due this trend, study vital importance will continue be relevant moving forward. Currently, few studies have explored risk factors associated with complications, most...
Abstract Background Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) has long been utilized to treat infectious conditions in the outpatient setting, particularly for those requiring prolonged courses of antimicrobials. It is well-known that follow-up with Infectious Diseases can reduce hospital readmission. However, factors associated loss are not well-studied. We sought understand an increased risk OPAT patients. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at NYU Langone...
Abstract Background We present a case of 65-year-old male with history acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who presented fevers and skin lesions. The patient achieved remission after induction chemotherapy. Nineteen months diagnosis, while on maintenance therapy, the as noted above. He was instructed to hold therapy sent hospital. Methods Results On examination, febrile. had papules forehead, chest, arms, legs, back. Physical examination otherwise unremarkable. Labs were notable for...
Background: Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies comprise a class of rapidly progressive and inevitably fatal degenerative brain disorders. The pathogenesis these diseases is thought to be due change in the structure normal prion protein an abnormal structure, leading propagation protein. This highly transmissible; thus, appropriate infection control measures should put place if diagnosis suspected. However, often not considered at all, many hospitals do have protocols place. Our...
Abstract Background Overutilization of antibiotics remains an issue in the inpatient setting. What is more, many protocols geared toward curbing improper antibiotic use rely heavily on resource- and personnel-intensive interventions. Thus, potential for using EMR to facilitate stewardship largely unexplored. Methods We implemented a novel change ordering certain our EMR: ceftriaxone, daptomycin, ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem, piperacillin-tazobactam. When one these antibiotics, providers...
Cotton fever is a self-limited, febrile syndrome occurring after the injection of trace amounts drugs, in particular heroin, extracted from reused cotton filters. It characterized by non-specific findings, such as fever, tachycardia, and leucocytosis. The leading pathophysiologic explanation suggests it result direct inoculation bloodstream with endotoxins Gram-negative bacilli genus Enterobacter, known to colonize all parts plant. Only one prior case report has suggested potential risk...
Abstract Background Asian Americans (AAs) make up approximately 2% of new HIV diagnoses, 1.5% all and are the only ethnic group noted to have a continuous increase in infection rate from 2011 2016. AAs also report lowest rates testing (33.5%). Barriers continue exist; however, predictors among Asians United States not well studied. Prior studies shown that parent-child relationship may play role increasing likelihood testing. One study found father-child communication Black population was...
Abstract Background COVID-19 has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide. While testing was initially centered in healthcare facilities with automatic reporting to health departments, it is increasingly being performed the home rapid antigen testing. Many at-home tests are self-interpreted and not typically reported. In December 2021, nirmatrelvir/ritonavir molnupiravir were authorized for treatment of high-risk patients. New York City (NYC), these antivirals available free via pickup or...
