Minister @patmcfaddenmp & Lord Vallance visited @GSTTnhs to see UK tech enabling rapid bedside diagnosis of respiratory infections.
The project with @OxfordNanopore is being rolled out to up to 30 NHS Trusts.

'The drainome' - just published by @jhieditor: using @nanopore metagenomics and other measures to assess the microbiome, resistome and effects of decontamination in hospital sinks. doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2024.… @simon999 @madelaam @jonotter @jonathanCIDR
we need to make sure our decontamination interventions are effective - this decontamination did not change microbial counts and led to expansion of Pseudomonas - what's the point?

Great to collaborate with UK partners & share our experience of therapies for severe and persistent COVID in B cell deplete patients @RCSI_Irl @UCD_Research @GSTTnhs @IDSIreland @AimeeMcgreal @HIVTox academic.oup.com/ofid/advanc…

Multicenter case series data in patients with persistent SARS-CoV-2 infection (median 103 days) in the setting of CD20 depleting therapy. Most received prolong Paxlovid (median 10 days, as long as 18 days) plus sotrovimab or IVIG. Lesser # got remdesivir. academic.oup.com/ofid/advanc…

Great to see this case series published. Difficult to treat - persistent #COVID19 infection. Great collaboration across UK and Ireland - the All #Ireland Infectious Diseases Cohort @CEPHR_UCD @RCSI_Irl @ucddublin
Outlining success in treating persistent SARS-CoV-2/chronic COVID with prolonged Paxlovid for 10-18 days. Cases from Ireland, Wales & London. Infected for average of 103 days.
