Faculty @serinerayil.bsky.social explored a critical clinical dilemma. Their study of 308 patients found that while 6% were diagnosed with presumed candida chorioretinitis, nearly half were asymptomatic. No cases of endophthalmitis were identified. #IDSky academic.oup.com/ofid/advance...

Do patients with candidemia need an ophthalmologic examination?

Among 308 patients with candidemia, we found a 6% incidence of presumed candida chorioretinitis. The number needed to screen among asymptomatic patients wa

Ocular Candidiasis: - No significant association with symptoms or comorbidities. - more likely to be found >7 days from first +ve candida blood culture. - Number needed to screen in asymptomatic pts was 20 #IDSky, what has been your practice? @dralicehan.bsky.social @germhuntermd.bsky.social

Wonderful evening w/ our @umn-idim.bsky.social folks hosting the one & only, Dr. Barbara Trautner! Discussed her career, academic medicine, & the sage wisdom she can pass on to us trainees… We pulled out all the stops to welcome her, even turned on the snow for her 😉😂☃️ #IDSky #MinneSnowta

Dr. Trautner, I distinguished infectious disease researcher discussing her career - the highs and lows.

Large retrospective study out in JAMA IM today on midline vs. PICC lines for OPAT demonstrating safety in using midlines, especially if <14 days of abx. Does any center regularly use midlines for OPAT? #IDSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Diagnostic Performance of Serum & BAL Galactomannan Testing in Lung Transplant Recipients "Serum GM is not a valuable test in the diagnosis of IA in our LTx recipients, is costly, & does not remove the need for bronchoscopy & BAL GM." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #TxID #IDSky

visual abstract for the study which concludes that serum galactomannan is unhelpful in patients with lung transplants due to poor sensitivity

ROC curve for BAL galactomannan in diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis. The ROC is pretty decent (shows moderately good sensitivity and specificity)

ROC curve for serum galactomannan for diagnosing invasive aspergillosis in a cohort of lung transplant recipients. Probably the worst ROC I've ever seen, where the curve approaches the diagonal (ie completely worthless)
