Today is #WorldRabiesDay.

Rabies is one of the most horrifying infections.

Awareness, animal-bite avoidance, vaccination and prompt action after an exposure save lives.

How are people of #IDSky counseling their colleagues with the release of this paper?

There is a lot of talk off #IDSky about the @jamanetworkopen.com article about increased mortality in Cefepime.

I highly recommend the editorial:
-Difference is small (<1%)
-Most studies before 2010
-Dosing/Breakpoints changes since trials
-ACORN shows real 🌎safety
