PFID stands in support of our partners Sepsis Alliance in raising awareness of #sepsis - its prevalence, how to prevent it, the right questions to ask #healthcare providers, how to live as a #sepsissurvivor & more. sepsis.org/get-involved/s… #SepsisAwarenessMonth #SAM2024

This #SepsisAwarenessMonth, we’re shining the spotlight on sepsis. The life-threatening condition takes hundreds of thousands of American lives each year – yet many are unaware of its existence and not familiar with its symptoms.

September 13 is #WorldSepsisDay! #Sepsis is a medical emergency and must be treated immediately - if you see 2 or more #symptoms act immediately. #stopsepsis #savelives

Today is #WorldSepsisDay! Sepsis is the final common pathway to death from most infectious diseases worldwide, incl. viruses. Most people still don't understand that most people dying from #COVID19 are dying from viral sepsis. These are the most common #sources of #sepsis:

With these numbers in mind on #WorldSepsisDay today, can we count on you to help us raise awareness by sharing the signs of sepsis in the infographic above? By learning this simple mnemonic and ensuring you know how to recognize the symptoms of sepsis, you could save a life.

"There are some issues in Congress that remain bipartisan no matter the temperature and tenor of the political discourse," Congressman Drew Ferguson writes. "Solving #AMR is one of those issues." theepochtimes.com/opinion/we-are…

In 2020, #SepticShock tragically took Gail’s life when undiagnosed diverticulitis led to a perforated bowel. Now, Gail’s husband, Peter, is dedicated to raising awareness in her honor. Learn how you can raise awareness during Sepsis Awareness Month at SepsisAwarenessMonth.org.

"Investment in this area is sorely lacking: the World Health Organization reports that fungal infections receive less than 1.5% of all infectious disease research funding." #FungalDiseaseAwarenessWeek statnews.com/2023/02/09/fun… via STAT #AMR

Ahead of #WorldPatientSafetyDay tomorrow, remember reaching a diagnosis is a team effort, and you’re a key player! For patients, think of yourself as a member of your healthcare team: get involved, stay engaged & be proactive about your diagnosis. Get it right, make it safe!

Great to see POLITICO covering how armed conflicts are contributing to the #AMR crisis in its Future Pulse newsletter, with quotes from HananBalkhyحنان بلخي politico.com/newsletters/fu…

🆕 Antimicrobial resistance poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century. A new in-depth global analysis suggests more than 39 million deaths from antibiotic-resistant infections could occur between now & 2050. Explore the data: buff.ly/3zlVE0U #AMR

Data has a critical role to play in the global fight against AMR. Today, the #GRAM Project led by Dr Christopher Murray (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)) has published new historical estimates and the world’s first forecasts on the global #AMR burden in The Lancet #ActionOnAMR ms.spr.ly/6019mTsOR

Today is the World Health Organization (WHO) #WorldPatientSafetyDay. The theme is focused on improving diagnosis for patient safety, using the slogan: '#GetItRightMakeItSafe!'. The AMR Narrative spotlights the critical role of diagnostics in combating #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR #theAMRnarrative

Thank you nyupublichealth & World Health Organization (WHO) for hosting "A Wolf in Wolf’s Clothing: #AntimicrobialResistance and the Diseases that Kill Us." Forums like this urge action on #AMR that is desperately needed to make progress on new antibiotics, prevent increasing resistance and save lives.

Yday, The Lancet ran a critical global analysis on superbugs: 1) Btwn 1990-2021, superbug deaths increased 80% in >70yo 2) Bugs resistant to strongest antibiotics--like the one in our story--increased most 3) Could avert 92 mill deaths by 2050 w/new abx thelancet.com/journals/lance…

#Antibiotics can have serious, sometimes life-threatening side effects, making it critical that these drugs are used appropriately and only when necessary. #WorldPatientSafetyDay pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…

New #GRAM estimates from Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) University of Oxford Wellcome The Fleming Fund show that over a million lives have been lost each year since 1990, a total of more than 36 million people.

AMR is serious. A new in-depth global analysis from The Lancet highlights how urgent the need to tackle #AMR is. There are things we can all do to help keep antibiotics working for the future - find out more: ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/05/08/wha…

Misinformation about mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is increasing. Our webpage (bit.ly/47raMXz) provides clear, factual guidance on the safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccines, and includes a downloadable fact sheet to share with your patients: bit.ly/4gvUOPI

"The burden is not equally distributed. From 1990 and 2021, children ages five and younger saw a greater than 50 percent decrease in AMR deaths, while seniors ages 70 and older saw an increase of more than 80 percent." THIS IS RESISTANCE! We need NEW antibiotics NOW to keep pace.
