Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Man, the amount of times someone wants to do a perc cholecystostomy on someone in shock is mind boggling. “They aren’t improving!!!” “They still have staph in their blood.” “We put the perc chole tube in and the pressors got a little better” “They have endocarditis” 010

Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 19/10/2025I have done linezolid in cns infections. I feel much better for CNS penetration than a lot of others. 000
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 17/01/2025I was informed today by my surgical colleagues that their boards state that fidaxomicin is better than vancomycin for c diff. Is that a consensus in the ID community? 000
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I had a really bad acute strep meningitis and everyone was surprised. The patient was very sick and got better quickly so it was a cool case. 010
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 05/01/2025I think doggy palliative care services are better on average than human palliative care services. 000
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 27/12/2024To clarify, the question is that a patient was given two doses of ivermectin prior to transplant. We are consulted bc they just transplanted them and they want to know about retreating with 4 dose protocol. 110
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 26/12/2024So i had a consult about someone with a positive igg for strongy. Are any of the transplant id physicians out there ok with only single dose of ivermectin pre transplant? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31558376/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govMultiple-dose versus single-dose ivermectin for Strongyloides stercoralis infection (Strong Treat 1 to 4): a multicentre, open-label, phase 3, randomised controlled superiority trial - PubMedThere was no funding source for this study. 110

Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I use eosinopenia as a surrogate marker for pct and it is about as useful and the test is already ordered! I find the test pretty useless in the icu. 000
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Are you saying that the vaccines are a silent war against autistic people or that there is a war against autism and vaccines are an excuse? #Hashtags #unclear 100
Matthew Brigmon @mbrigmon.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Oh, I have seen this and it won’t end well no matter what you use…probably. I would give olorofim maybe try inhaled ampho or other (opelconazole) if you got it. If at a place not in a trial, i would do vori/ampho/mica until you know. 030
