  • Great Content

    This is such an amazing resource that has allowed better discussions when liaising with microbiologists in my trust.

    I didn’t get that much if at all teaching about microbiology in medical school so this is great to to understand what I’m doing in clinical practice.

    Thank you so much:)

    They are obviously both of high intellect as demonstrated by their keen scholarship of the lore of middle earth. I now know far more than any lowly geriatrician would care to know about penicillin binding proteins so thanks for that…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

149. Tyme for Lyme part 1: History, Epidemiology, Clinical Syndromes
Q: How does transmission from a tick to a human occur, and what time frame is typically required?
Transmission generally requires the tick to be attached and feeding for a substantial period, with evidence suggesting around 24 hours of attachment as a threshold for transmission to occur, though shorter times might sometimes yield infection depending on circumstances.
149. Tyme for Lyme part 1: History, Epidemiology, Clinical Syndromes
Q: Why is the taxonomy of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato important for understanding Lyme disease across different regions?
Different Borrelia species predominate in different regions (e.g., garinii in birds, afzelii in small mammals), which helps explain why clinical manifestations such as neuroborreliosis or arthritis are more common in some areas (UK/Europe) compared with the US, where joint involvement is more typical.
138. RIPL - Tick borne infections
Q: How important is vaccination history for tick-borne infections like tick-borne encephalitis?
Vaccination history is crucial as prior TBE vaccination can affect serology interpretation; testing and prognosis are influenced by whether the patient has had the vaccine.
138. RIPL - Tick borne infections
Q: What pathogens are most commonly tested for with tick bites in Europe?
Lyme disease is the most common in Europe; beyond that, the clinical picture and travel exposure guide testing, with particular attention to travel history and symptoms, and CSF involvement when neurological symptoms are present.
132. Echinocandins Part 1: the old stuff
Q: What are the side effects of Echinocandins?
Echinocandins are generally well tolerated with few side effects, including flushing, rash, and very minimal nephrotoxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions About ID:IOTS

What is ID:IOTS about and what kind of topics does it cover?

The show centers on infectious disease and clinical microbiology topics with UK-focused clinical context.
