My replies are perpetually full of anti-vaxxers these days telling me about polio vaccines. Not shockingly, most of what they are saying is wrong. Luckily, I trained with Vincent Racaniello & he taught me a few things about poliovirus. So let’s discuss the king of the Picornaviridae👇🏻

Interesting article in #JAC on loading dose of #clofazimine in nontuberculous mycobacterial disease. A 4-week loading dose of 300 mg daily resulted in faster time to steady-state-like concentrations (3.8 vs 5.3 months) and was deemed safe and well-tolerated. doi.org/10.1093/jac/... #IDSky #NTM

My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!

Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Management of Urinary Tract Infections
This consensus statement creates a clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections that addresses the gap between the evidence and recommendation strength.
