an excellent case conference & micro lab session today featuring stunning captures of Strongyloides stercoralis🪱🫁 from a case of dissimenated infection!

a little Friday morning celebration for the improved ID fellows’ lounge!! a much needed renovation with more desk space, computer access and brightness 🔆 thank you to our PD, Dr. Cunha, for ensuring a space that meets fellows’ needs!

it’s dress up as your favorite celebrity duo here at BUH today, and our recent fellowship alumni could not resist the opportunity to participate! Drs. Williams & Panaccione could not think of a more famous hospital duo… 💭 it’s none other than IV pip-tazo & vancomycin 💉🦠

we 🫶 the Providence trivia scene! after many months of “practice” runs, we finally won! now to keep a streak going 😌

it was such a privilege to meet with Dr. Rochelle Walensky! our fellows had an amazing time learning more about her career journey in the U.S. government as former CDC director, while staying true to her goals of addressing critical public health needs. thank you Dr. Walensky!

it’s another great Friday in the micro lab with teaching and this beautiful gram stain prep by the head of our microbiology lab, Dr. Hong! feat. S.gordonii and a discussion on SBE 🫀

happy Friday from micro rounds! an immunocompromised patient with high fevers, hypoxia and organ disfunction grows these colonies on charcoal yeast agar (but not regular agar) from a BAL sample… you guessed it! Legionella pneumophila 🧫🔬 rare to get such a good gram stain 🙌

nothing says happy new year like some path review of the inside of a surgically removed intraventricular cyst confirming our clinical suspicion of neurocysticercosis 🐖🪱🧠

there’s no stopping these two when the creative juices start flowing! 📸 micro rounds today inspiring first year, Dr. Uddin, and one of our favorite attendings, Dr. Nau, to embark on a probiotic research collaborative… they are already working on their infomercial tactics 😂
