It's a beautiful day to speak with a senator about Lyme Disease in kids! 🕷Thank you to Senator Collins' staff for taking the time to hear about the need for awareness, more access to specialty care and research funding for Lyme in this underappreciated population. #tickseason #kidsarentsmalladults

Wtf is Tracy Beth talking about? The WHO recommends Hepatitis B immunization for all infants, ideally with 24 hours of birth, which is the policy in 117 countries worldwide, including most of the Americas, Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia and North Africa. Europe is the outlier...

You just GOTTA make it to the 8am session when Dr. Hamdy is sharing the latest, practice-changing papers on BSI and UTI treatment duration and adjunctive steroids in meningitis for the pediatric population! #IDWeek2025 #PIDS

I'd love to know at what point an illness becomes chronic. 10 years? 15 years? When, RFK Jr, when? Bc apparently 5 years of disabling fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pain, nausea, isn't long enough... The callousness and hypocrisy of this administration is staggering 💔 😥🤬 cen.acs.org/policy/resea...

Helping fight chronic disease, you say? Bull$hit. Long COVID IS a chronic disease. Getting rid of the AC before we've even had a chance to begin our work is a travesty and a slap in the face to Americans with Long COVID and other infection associated chronic conditions.
