Thanks to @NEJMEvidence for the chance to share our framework on the risks of IDU and opportunities to mitigate harm.
A privilege to work with and learn from @katherinemrich, the engine and the brains behind this operation. The future of ID/addiction medicine is bright.

What are the mechanisms (structural, social, physiologic) that result in complications of injection drug use?
And how can we improve health among individuals who inject drugs?
@dsolsMD and I share a framework and a review of current evidence in a new 2 part series. 1/x
I am so excited and to take over the reins from @PaulSaxMD (aka the GOAT 🐐) - grateful for your mentorship and friendship.
And thrilled to work with and learn from our wonderful ID fellows like @JessicaLittleMD @DrWilfredoM @CourtHarrisMD @EllenNagami and many more.
We bid a heartfelt adieu to @PaulSaxMD and thank him for 20 years as Associate Program Director for the fellowship. 🖤 Congratulations on your new role as editor-in-chief of CID!
And we are SO excited to welcome @dsolsMD as our incoming APD! ⭐️ Thank you for coming aboard!

What a beautiful morning. @SteveKornacki @JohnKingCNN and then Eric Rubin from @NEJM being interviewed by @dsolsMD for the #PcareID course. I need a 3rd screen.
Hope this race is called while Dr. Rubin is being interviewed!
Lyme disease - just the sort of twitter action I need in my life, thanks Jake. While we are here though...required reading from the lay media for all of us living in New England: thecut.com/2019/07/what-happ…
Day #11 ID Learning: Lyme disease is challenging - it's a multisystem illness with nonspecific symptoms that presents from days to years after exposure. My go to table courtesy of @dsolsMD
Students in MA required to get flu shot this year. This is the kind of policy that can make a huge impact on public health. Let's hope that 1) other states follow suit and 2) this requirement sticks in subsequent years. @jabarocas @SaadOmer3

Appreciate the chance to chat with @JAMA_current this week about the impact of COVID-19 on the upcoming flu season. edhub.ama-assn.org/jn-learni…
How will we manage patients with non-specific viral respiratory symptoms this winter? How will our efforts to control COVID-19 impact flu epidemiology? Some answers and more questions here @SanjatKanjilal @Dr_AmyKacin @JakeJohnsonMD @PaulSaxMD @sigal_md

Flu season is around the corner. BUT if we maintain NPIs through the winter, we are likely to see a decrease in influenza this year. Can we use the lessons we learn from COVID-19 to decrease influenza morbidity and mortality in subsequent seasons?

@dsolsMD, @Dr_AmyKacin and I discuss the interaction of #COVID19 and #flu
For the upcoming virus season, *all* ppl w/upper respiratory sx will require testing for #SARSCoV2 +/- flu. Does your lab have the capacity to handle it?
Collaborating on a manuscript is an amazing way to meet a new colleague - welcome to BWH, Amy! We are lucky to have you.

Stellar MGR discussion today by @dsolsMD walking us through the approache to liver failure in homeless PWID. 4 hepatitis viruses, 3 of which vaccine preventable. @PaulSaxMD @BrighamChiefs

Admissions for invasive infections among PWID maybe a patient's only interaction with the healthcare system.
✔️ Test for HIV, Hep B & C
✔️ Screen for STI
✔️ Vaccination (hep A, B, tetanus)
✔️ PrEP

My favorite moment from our @BWH_IDinPCARE course today:
In her fantastic talk on CAP, my dear friend and colleague, Mary Montgomery, threw some shade at trainees for overzealous ordering of procalcitonin.
At BWH they would NEVER. Right @PaulSaxMD @BrighamChiefs @JakeJohnsonMD ?

Vaccine hesitancy is a continuum – consider different strategies for patients who fall at different places along the spectrum.

“Vaccination has been the victim of its own success. Eradication has afforded [us] the luxury of equivocation. People have forgotten how dangerous these diseases were and, in the absence of reminders, have become complacent."
