Dude, Phil, you can’t out-study Infectious Disease. Don’t even try.
Our latest video in our partnership with @DGlaucomflecken summarizes the AZ-SWED trial that evaluated whether a 5-day course of azithromycin decreases the severity of illness in young children with wheezing. Read the full study for free: nej.md/DrG44

I couldn't agree w/ this concept more.
In 1st 24h, w/ few exceptions (e.g. AGs), I am not worried about overdosing abx (e.g. toxicity) but am worried about underdosing (efficacy).
Common to see rapid SCr improvement w/ hydration.
Importance of determining baseline renal fxn.

Is piperacillin-tazobactam safe in patients with penicillin allergy?
🆕🔥🟢Piperacillin–tazobactam tolerability in patients with a labeled penicillin allergy (PIPPEN)
Of the 191 patients included, 98% were found to tolerate one or more doses of piperacillin–tazobactam.
This included 95 patients with “low risk delayed reactions,” 90 patients with “high risk anaphylactic reactions,” and 2 patients with “well-documented delayed reactions,” to penicillins. Only four patients out of 191 had documented intolerance to piperacillin-tazobactam post-exposure
All patients in the “anaphylactic allergy or anaphylactic like reaction” subgroup tolerated one or more doses of piperacillin–tazobactam.

Interesting read.
Topics include the need (or lack thereof) for enterococcal & anaerobic coverage with IAI, along with discussions of non-traditional amox/clav dosing for some scenarios (875/125 BID may not be sufficient!)
