Ruth Drury educates us on microRNAs demonstrating that 4CMenB vaccination alters microRNA expression, which in turn is associated with post vaccination fever. Seems that these little ones might be ‘small but mighty’, playing a key role in regulating gene expression. #ESPID2019

Be aware-up to 60% of children with ADEM have high titres of MOG antibodies. We should be aware of, and test for this antibody in our ADEM patients. Learning from the renowned neurologist T.Amangue. #ESPID2019

Infection is not like cheese, it doesn’t get better the longer you wait #ECCMID2024

How do we improve outcomes for children with HSVE? No data so far supporting the role of steroids but how about immunoglobulin use? #espid2024

AMR affects all age groups, quite sobbering data Sanjay Patel #espid2024

A glimpse into the impact of combination vaccines #espid2024

We should not forget the ‘free riders’ in a combination vaccine strategy. What if a parent doesn’t want their child to be vaccinated against one of the antigens in a combination vaccine? Food for thought 🤔🤔 #espid2024

Another lovely debate from the Young ESPID group. Should urine samples be sent in an infant with negative urinalysis? #espid2024

ESPID AGM: To guideline or not to guideline. That’s the question for the ESPID guideline committee. There is also a guideline for guidelines 😊 Nigel Curtis #espid2024

Over 1/4 of cerebral malaria encephalopathy was associated with co-infection, mostly bacterial. Co-infections had much higher mortality rates. PCR diagnostics and MRI did well to differentiate between infection aetiologies, CRP didn't. ESPIDSociety #espid2024ambassador

Excellent session to end the day #espid2024 #espidQuizID

😋 When our favourite PI turns up with freshly baked homemade carrot cake! 🥕🎂 (we might have to make this a requirement for all meetings going forward 🤭) Thank you Mildred! 😊
