- Who Am I? -
I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor, and I believe that education should be free.
I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this CZcams channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.
New videos are uploaded several times each week.
I do not run ads on our work as it is disruptive to learning. We depend on your support.

There was also a Doc Martin episode with an autobrewery syndrome patient.

*Summary*
*General Information*
* This episode reviews infectious disease literature from May 28th to June 5th, 2024.
* Show notes and ways to support the podcast can be found at the provided links.
*Viral (Starting at **1:06**)*
* *(**1:17**)* *Rapid Chicken Gunia Test:* Researchers developed a new test for Chikungunya virus that delivers results in 20-30 minutes from various samples (serum, urine, saliva, mosquitoes).
* *(**3:57**)* *Adoptive T Cell Therapy for Viral Infections:* A study showed promising results using this therapy for patients with adenovirus or CMV infections after stem cell transplants. However, long-term survival rates remain low, highlighting the need for more research.
*Bacterial (Starting at **8:20**)*
* *(**8:20**)* *Melioidosis Latency is Rare:* Contrary to previous beliefs, reactivation of melioidosis from latency is uncommon, representing less than 3% of cases.
* *(**13:06**)* *Meningococcal Disease and Pilgrimages:* Several cases of meningococcal disease were reported in travelers returning from pilgrimages to Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the importance of vaccination even for Umra pilgrimages.
* *(**21:50**)* *Doxycycline PEP for STIs:* The CDC now recommends doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women who have had a bacterial STI in the past 12 months.
* *(**17:09**)* *Orthopedic Implant Infections:* A Dutch study provides insight into the use of suppressive antimicrobial therapy (SAT) for orthopedic implant infections, suggesting that lower doses may be as effective as standard doses.
*Fungal (Starting at **23:57**)*
* *(**23:57**)* *Candida auris and Beta-D-Glucan Testing:* The serum Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) test, used to diagnose invasive candidiasis, has significantly lower sensitivity for *Candida auris* infections compared to other Candida species.
* *(**27:20**)* *Auto-Brewery Syndrome:* A case report highlights the importance of considering Auto-Brewery Syndrome in patients presenting with alcohol intoxication without consuming alcohol. This rare condition involves gut flora fermenting carbohydrates into alcohol.
*Parasitic (Starting at **31:52**)*
* *(**31:57**)* *Malaria and Cognition:* A study in Kenyan schoolchildren shows a correlation between asymptomatic malaria infection and impaired cognition, raising concerns about the long-term impact of malaria on childhood development.
* *(**34:21**)* *Disseminated Strongyloidiasis Outcomes:* A U.S. study examined disseminated strongyloidiasis cases, finding a 0.9% prevalence among strongyloides infections and a 30-day mortality rate of 21%.
* *(**36:01**)* *Toquin for Relapsing Babesiosis (transmitted by ticks):* A case series suggests that Toquin, potentially in combination therapy, may be a treatment option for relapsing babesiosis. More research is needed.
*Miscellaneous (Starting at **37:53**)*
* *(**38:00**)* *Medical Librarians on Rounds:* A pilot study suggests that incorporating medical librarians into infectious disease rounds could improve evidence-based care.
