This year Influenza A virus is very aggressive. I saw a lot of severe myositises, liver damages, and even cytokine storm.

@pulmcrit.bsky.social Can you explain principles of amiodarone dosing as boluses? How to decide to repeat bolus and in which time during treatment? I do not quite understand from the IBCC article below πŸ‘‡πŸΌ

More and more idiots making some decisions for others, that make no sense. Overwhelming people with stupidities so they cannot see that they do not have other basic needs in life.

No antistaphylococcal penicillins available in my country.

We do not have antistaphylococcal penicillins in my country.

I used 2 g loading, than give immediately 8 g/24 h. After that, older collegue, switched to vancomycin with all yelling and "I work for 30 years" staff...

Excretion of virus by feces can last months. Hard to know how long.

#IDSky Cefazolin for MSSA meningitis?
I am asking because I was criticized by older collegue because I give it to the patient with this infection.

Test the partner for anti-HAV IgG antibodies. Hepatitis A does not pose special risk for pregnancy, especially resolved one.

Any comment on this @dralicehan.bsky.social ? Why suppression therapy? Why not treatment for 6-8 weeks as any other prosthetic valve endocarditis?

Yes, they use EUCAST. My question here is more about cefazolin because susceptibility is not reported.

#IDSky Homeless person with scabies and Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (isolate attached)? How would you explain susceptibility results for cephalosporins (cephalexin) and would you trust cefazolin? @bradspellberg.bsky.social @wwrighid.bsky.social @drtoddlee.bsky.social @dralicehan.bsky.social

No other prosthetic material. During previous episode of fever, TEE was negative. Dose of linezolid is 600 mg BID, but we will do TDM.
