Still feeling 🔥 up from our inspiring faculty panel discussion last week! Our all-star faculty covered career pivots, authentic discovery, growth from failure, impostor syndrome, mentorship, and more with refreshing honesty. We are so grateful. Dream big, WIC 🫀✨

5/6 Ultimate diagnosis: Legionella pneumonia c/b rhabdomyolysis & cytotoxic corpus callosum lesion😵‍💫 – both of which can be associated with Legionnaires’ disease. Rx’d 💊 with azithromycin with rapid improvement!

6/6 Legionella testing: 🦠Legionella has >1 serotype 🧪Urinary Ag tests only for serotype 1 🧪PCR on a lower resp tract sample preferred ⚠️PCR yield isn’t💯 Karius testing led to dx in this pt! Consider karius (cell-free microbial DNA) in immunocompetent host w/ diagnostic❓
1/3 Continuing our “schema series” (in which IM faculty +/- specialist consultants review dx approaches 🔎 & mx strategies 💊 for CC), Chief Dr. @PatrickHolmanMD led us through an approach to shock with expert insight from beloved pulm crit fellow Dr. Michael Troy 🔥

3/3 Important points! 💥Mx of shock: assess pt stability while giving empiric tx + building a ddx. Keep a framework (shock types vs PROVED?) in mind.   💥Focused exam: 1) doorway 👀 2) perfusion check (🧠 & skin) 3) get access 4) 🔎 volume status 5) organ exams +🫀🫁 POCUS

Bonus 🎯 from Dr. Michael Troy: Always have a back-up plan, & a back-up to your back-up! For ex: hemorrhage requiring pRBC🩸Pt already has 2 decent PIVs… Back-up #1: get a pressure bag & ask for more large-bore IVs Back-up #2: bring a cordis to 🛏 & get ready to activate MTP!

4/4 Pearls: ⬆️ LDH: ddx hemolysis, visceral injury, infection, CTD, leukemia/lymphoma! 🕵🏽‍♀️Diagnostic CT tool: pattern of nodules (centrilobular vs perilymphatic vs diffuse) 🚨Avoid early closure: may not “just” be the 1st condition uncovered ⚠️Burkitt’s=AIDS-defining malignancy
