The federal HIV guidelines are facing a shutdown. A trusted, living resource — used by clinicians, programs, and public health agencies for decades — may disappear due to “budget decreases and revised priorities.” Big mistake. blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…

#IDTwitter @JHMed_ID Happy New Year Infectious Diseases colleagues! The @IDSAInfo worked hard to advocate for the add-on billing code G0545 that can now be used when evaluating inpatient confirmed or suspected infections!

Medscape's annual physician specialty salary report is out. IDSA still fiddling while Rome burns. The yellow highlighted statement in the report is sad...but true. Change is needed. Who will champion it? We know IDSA won't.

Clinicians may find it surprising that the near-universal insistence on IV-only therapy for endocarditis is based on case series of historical, no-longer-relevant antibiotics from the 1940s and 1950s, reinforced by the opinions of eminent experts, rather than high-quality data.

Most patients with sepsis don't need anti-anaerobic antibiotics. But most get them anyway. Why not, what's the harm? I worry the harm is considerable. Our new study in @JAMAInternalMed: using a 15-month pip-tazo shortage to answer this question. 1/n jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

Good move IMHO. I’ve seen academic medical centers use non-compete clauses to limit competition by stifling physician mobility. U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs. apple.news/AGjJqWH1kRLeha…

Chronic q fever, Challenging case. On doxycycline but can't use Hydroxy chloroquine or a quinoline anymore. What other ABX could you add on? Rifampin? Extend therapy further than 18months? #IDTwitter #Qfever @Abx_doc @dralicehan @IdVilchez

Hey guys! It seems that @ABIMcert is panicking and has miscalculated their strategy to grab $$$ Not only are they reporting docs to their institutions who are due for 10-year exam, but they are also reporting anyone mid-cycle who hasn't made MOC payments! An opportunity!! ....

UPDATE: Last week, a Nepali doctor filed a class action lawsuit against the National Board of Medical Examiners, alleging discrimination based upon national origin and requesting that invalidated USMLE scores be restored while examinees appeal. Today, the NBME responded. (🧵)

Reposting -- both to amplify Dan's opinion about MRSA contact precautions (it's time to eliminate them, known harms/costs >>> known benefits), and to highlight a nice review by my Boston ID colleague Molly Paras!
