An honor to collaborate with this ID/ICU group of experts today to talk about infections during ECMO and tackle BSI approach+treatment! @ELSOOrg #ELSO2024
An informative @MayoClinicINFD + USAF joint presentation on all things ECMO infections at #ELSO2024 with discussions of definitions, epi, biofilms, IPAC, and more with pediatric and adult perspective! @GraemeMacLaren @IDdocAdi @EmilyLevyMD @jrdelbrio

Please vaccinate your children to protect them from this extremely contagious serious disease. If you have questions, talk with your child’s doctor. Remember that we are also protecting infants in our community who are too young to yet receive #MMR. #measles
BREAKING: A person hospitalized with measles in West Texas has died, the first in an outbreak that has infected more than 120 people.

A school-aged Texas child has died from measles as the outbreak now hits 124. They tragically were unvaccinated. This should not be happening in 2025. https://t.co/C5ochxgjkx

A child who was not vaccinated has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first death in an outbreak that began late last month and the first from measles in the U.S. since 2015.

How do you we identify patients more likely to respond to angiotensin II? 🤔 Excited to share our work, signaling ⬇️ ICU and 30-day mortality in patients requiring renal replacement therapy that receive it compared to standard of care! Find it here: https://t.co/YHMcgBoLTi

I recently treated a patient with Brucellosis It's an infection caused by the bacteria called Brucella It got into his spine, causing severe pain and disability He needed many weeks of antibiotics How did he get it? By drinking raw milk Not a good idea

💨sNO to the #ECMO circuit?? What if we can we stop platelets from being activated in the extracorporeal circuit, particularly on the membrane lung, having them working on the patient, to prevent bleeding?? Just put nitric oxide on the sweep gas flow... @DrGilesPeek #ELSO2024

To test if maternal IgA could protect against GBS colonization in vivo, we turned to a mouse model of vaginal colonization and transmission of GBS during birth. This results in early-onset like sepsis consistent with the lung as a route of infection in the pups.

We found GBS frequently in the intestinal microbiota of premature infants in the first few months following birth. Interestingly, we found the relative abundance of GBS negatively correlated with the concentration of IgA in paired milk samples.

Long term intestinal GBS colonization represents a threat of #sepsis to neonates and here we show how multiple modes of protection combine to restrict GBS in the intestines.

Learned so much from co-authors during this collaboration re infections/ IPC during pediatric and adult #ECMO. Much work to be done still to better understand and move this field forward! @MayoClinicCVS @MayoClinicINFD @EcmoPedi @PICJournalWatch
Wonderful to work with this multi-disciplinary team describing ECMO infections. Adult ID (myself included) has so much to learn from our pediatric colleagues where ECMO has been used for decades https://t.co/8JzwUWdtwz

As survival after ECMO improves and use of ECMO support increases in both pediatric and adult population, there is a need to focus on both the morbidities and c...

Our recent findings support recs that children 5-18yo remain up to date with COVID19 vax 💉 given low vaccination coverage + waning effectiveness over time against COVID-19 hospitalizations.@MayoClinicKids @CDCMMWR @OvercomingCOVID
