It's a strange new world that has such viruses in it -- a tipsy-topsy world where the outside is in and the far is near. And then there's the immunosuppressed.

I am an ID specialist at Northwestern University Chicago. I focus on #transplantID and #MedEd
I hope to continue to learn on Mastodon and much as the other platform.

Does anyone on #IDMastodon or #TransplantID have experience treating persistent #COVID in #immunocompromised patients?

I've reviewed the 6 case reports that I could find, and it sounds like IVIG±CP plus remdesivir (once it was available), with the most recent report finishing off with combination extended remdesivir plus Paxlovid (https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciac847).

What have other folks done with these patients? I have to believe that it's more common than the 6 published cases over 2 years.

Hello #TxID #transplantID #MedMastodon!

Nice to see the same old faces.

Reminds me very much of this xkcd comic (https://xkcd.com/918/)

Hi all! I figure it's time for a brief #introduction and avoiding the political frenzy is as good a reason as any.

I'm an #infectiousdisease doc specializing in #HIV and #transplantID.

Also in #MedEd as a curriculum dean. Interested in helping patients and learners with marginalized identities, especially #LGBTQ+ and #latin@/x/e folks.

On the personal side, I'm a #mexican-american #tejano #firstgen and #texpat living in the #BayArea with my husband and pups.

Great to meet y'all!
