Thank you!
We would like to thank the presenters, moderators, and organizers of IDWeek2022!! Please see IDWeek website for more information! For those viewing sessions on demand, I’ve tried to include the speakers and session numbers so that you are able to find them.
We started with some of the pre-meeting workshops
- Adult Fellows Day (PW04) & Pediatric Fellows Day (PW05), both from Wed 10/19
- These are great opportunities to hear some interesting cases, meet new ID colleagues, and hear some career development talks
- Here are some few assorted pearls:
- Histoplasmosis is a potential cause of a false negative cryptococcal antigen in serum
- Pulmonary involvement associated with parasitic infection is known as Loeffler syndrome. The initial description of eosinophilic pneumonitis was due to A.lumbicoides infection, but other parasitic infections have been identified such as Strongyloides, hookworm, schistosomiasis, and lymphatic filariasis to cause tropical pulmonary eosinophilia
- Adult Fellows Day (PW04) & Pediatric Fellows Day (PW05), both from Wed 10/19
- Ascaris infection can cause obstruction with heavy infection of adult worms, such as obstruction of bowel/intestinal lumen
- Don’t forget about syphilis in adolescent patients!
- Jonathan attended the Best Practices for Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs session on Tuesday (PW02, Tues 10/18)). Some of the subsessions he liked included:
- Pro-Con Debate: FQ Prophy in HCT by Samuel Aitken & Ghady Haidar (W18)
- Labs and Cultures we do for no good reason by Alex Trzebucki and Elitza Theel (W15)
- Jonathan’s quote from the session: “Clinically non indicated diagnostic tests are fundamentally ordered due to a miscalculation of the therapeutic impact versus the collateral damage of the test”
- There is the Vincent Andriole ID Board Review Course (PW01) available as well, Tues 10/18
- Annie learned that HSV encephalitis can actually trigger autoimmune encephalitis, including NMDA encephalitis
