A new study in @BMJPublicHealth shows current models predicting outcomes from visceral leishmaniasis are outdated, at high risk of bias, & miss regions like South Asia. None predict relapse or PKDL, only death. The authors urge caution when using them. doi.org/10.1136/bmjph-2024-0…

Lots of bad takes on #monkeypox from people who have been sharing their bad takes on Covid for 2.5 years. Who could have guessed.

For #Staph aureus bacteraemia, do we really need the whole treatment course to be IV? Can we step down to oral antibiotics after 7 or 14 days? This week we recruited the first of thousands of patients into the Early Oral Switch domain of the #SNAPtrial!
