The Effect of Antibiotic Therapy for Clostridioides difficile Infection on Mortality and Other Patient-Relevant Outcomes: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis - Clinical Microbiology and Infection https://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-743X(23)00420-2/fulltext

Notoriously difficult to disentangle mortality attributed to #clostridium #difficile and other co-morbidities.

Either way, it's not good to get #Cdiff

I have all the “snowballing” conditions- first, #Parkinsons , with its exercise requirements, and I rapidly decline when I’m unable to do so. Then the #PPPD , which makes it hard to get out & exercise, which adds to my #depression. Now #CDiff , which is both difficult to manage, has a poor cure rate, impairs my self care routine.
Although I’ve brought all this to the attention of my family, I wonder if I have to wake up dead some morning to be taken seriously. #disability.

Excellent talk by @DrJessicaA on #CDiff at @CedarsSinai IM grand rounds. @AmCollegeGastro guidelines recommend AGAINST probiotics after treating for C. Diff--can actually delay reconstitution of the #microbiome! @IBDCedarsSinai

@Microblog_me_uk such a clever study to work out the optimal price point based on its projected impact. I have a bit of a soft spot for these health economic analyses, even though I know nothing about this stuff really!

Our latest #EditorsInConversation podcast is out! Drs. Simner, McAdam and I review our fav J Clin Micro papers published over the past year.

We covered a range of papers from #mNGS for infectious endocarditis, to #IGRAs for Histoplasma and antibodies for #Cdiff, among other topics.

We also essentially loose it over ‘Mensa’…see why around minute 50ish 🤣😳
