Dengue. Control the vector control the disease.

A very promising vector control trial. So cool! #IDSky

Gonna get cancelled for saying, "what about Meropenem"

A four panel comic. In panel 1, there are three beautiful blooming roses, and the text says "Roses are red..." In panel 2, there are some lovely violets budding and blooming, and the text says "Violets are blue..." In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day"

Botany valentine. Another oldie.

MOAR!

General teaching about newborn sepsis I mention Listeria as more of a historically interesting bug that Amp covers.... Really the Amp is for GBS.

I guess until the post pasteurization era.

A question for #IDSky, are you offering Bexero for GC prevention for your patients on PrEP or living with HIV?

A cute drawing of a hammerhead shark and some zoonoses associated with them

Everything is a zoonosis! Drawing/listing challenge.
#30- Hammerhead shark

Seems they are more in the “vector” category and mostly due to what they can harbor in their gut, but what ends up in their microbiome is influenced by human spillages into their environment. So who’s infecting who?… #IDSky

Do Mako shark next!

Let's get you to bed grandma meme and she is saying I used to post antibiotic memes

Rolling up to the CSF pleocytosis like .....

And third one overall!

Semafor: Guinea worm neared global eradication, with just 10 cases reported worldwide in 2025, all of them in Chad, Ethiopia, or South Sudan. When former US President Jimmy Carter founded an eradication program in the mid-1980s, there were millions of infections in developing countries and the only human disease that had ever previously been permanently defeated was smallpox. The parasitic infection, transmitted via contaminated water, leads to three-foot worms emerging from painful leg ulcers, and causes long-term incapacitation and disability. While Carter did not, as he hoped, outlive the last Guinea worm (he died in 2024), he may have come close; the 10 cases mark a 33% decrease year-on-year.

Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.

It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

❓ Q: My patient with febrile neutropenia (FN*) on IV cefepime is hemodynamically stable but continues to have fevers. Do we need to switch empiric antibiotics to IV meropenem?

I can’t believe no one has noticed this pun yet

Happy National Women Physicians Day!

Take 1 minute of your day and read about one amazing woman physician featured at neurdgames.com/endowed-chairs - you won't regret it.

Yikes. That's veterinary medicine and infection prevention for you!

Spoiler: the latter always wins. Sometimes very much so.

Emergency drugs ready to go: ephedrine, phenylephrine and oxygen

Anesthesia pro tip: always keep supplemental oxygen drawn up and ready to use

But how did he get it?!

Nice review (and a refresher) on community-acquired pneumonia (CAP):

In the United States, CAP is estimated to be responsible for 1.2 million emergency department visits & 41,210 deaths annually
