Thank you, thank you- What an incredible honor! @pidsociety.bsky.social

@idweek.bsky.social @pidsociety.bsky.social This is such an honor!

Asuncion Mejias, MD, PhD, MsCS, FPIDS, will present this year’s Caroline B. Hall Lecture, “Mechanistic Insights into RSV Infection: A roadmap for Universal Prevention.”

See Dr. Mejias present at #IDWeek2025. Register today before rates increase Sept. 20: https://idweek.org/registration

We found that the increased observed in RSV disease severity post-pandemic was due in part to the high rates of RSV/viral codetections- see below 👇

Investigation of associations between the neonatal gut microbiota and severe viral lower respiratory tract infections in the first 2 years of life: a birth cohort study with metagenomics Early-life gut microbiota affects immune system development, including the lung immune response (gut–lung axis). We aimed to investigate whether gut m…

A former postdoc and a rock star just published this interesting study: the gut microbiota profile early in the neonatal period is associated with the incidence of viral LRTI during the first 2 years of life!- check this out! @cristina garcia-mauriño

Let’s go!!- day #1- so excited to be here! @iddoc4kids.bsky.social

I am so thankful and honored with my position as President of the International RSV society- let’s get to work!- @pidsociety.bsky.social @stjuderesearch.bsky.social

And measles infection but NOT vaccination induces “immune amnesia” meaning that 20%-70% of B-cell memory is erased after infection- This is one of the reasons why measles vaccination is crucial—not only does it prevent measles, but it also helps maintain overall immune protection.

@pidsociety.bsky.social @stjude.bsky.social indeed, big THANKS!

This is bad

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Breaking news: The White House budget office is ordering a pause to all grants and loans disbursed by the federal government, according to an internal memo sent to agencies Monday, creating significant confusion across Washington.

Dr. Paul Offit from last week's Roundtable on Vaccines:

"The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases...we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."

Hidradenitis suppurativa Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by painful, deep-seated nodules, abscesses, and draining tunnels in the skin of axillary, inguinal, genitoanal, or inframammary...

Hidradenitis Suppurativa is usually a derm run consult but occasionally ID gets involves to help w antibiotic therapy in the setting of a severe acute flare. This seminar in @thelancet.bsky.social is a fantastic update on the condition. I learned a lot. #IDSky

Antibody Response to RSV Vaccination in Immunocompromised Persons This prospective study investigates antibody response following respiratory syncytial virus vaccination in immunocompromised individuals.

Excited to share our article on RSV vaccine responses in immunocompromised patients published today in @jama.com. Many thanks to @williamwerbel.bsky.social and other co-authors for their hard work and support. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam.... #IDsky #TxID.

‘Safety signal’ in Moderna’s RSV vaccine studies halts trials of other vaccines for childhood killer Company found signs its shots made some infected kids sicker than expected, casting a new shadow over the previously troubled RSV vaccine field

Excellent review of possible enhanced disease after RSV and hmpv vaccines in young infants- Very humbling, so much to learn.

FDA Data on Moderna’s 2 RSV Vaccines for Infants Raise Safety Concerns The federal agency stated there were cases of RSV lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) post-immunization for 2 of the company’s vaccines, mRNA-1345 and mRNA-1365.

Totally 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Measles cases rose to more than 10 million in 2023, WHO and CDC say The surge in the preventable disease was driven by “inadequate immunization coverage,” the agencies said.

We are truly failing our children by not protecting them 😔

Measles cases rose to more than 10 million in 2023!
