Ochroconis gallopava (O. constricta) from a femur culture. This patient was immunocompromised and developed fungal osteomyelitis with this bug. I do not have full details on contributing factors to the original infection other than profound immunosuppression. The epidemiologist in me really wanted to identify a point of exposure (e.g. identifiable trauma, past infection, environmental) but the details just weren't available.

*The purpose of this account is to help clinicians, specifically paramedics, go through the steps on identifying and evaluating an electrocardiogram.\First, identify the rate, rhythm, axis deviation, hemi-blocks, bundle branch blocks, hypertrophy, ischemia, injury, infarct. (obviously say none if it doesn't exist).\Then, details on case below:

\Chest CT shows multiple pulmonary nodules (orange arrow). Several of these nodules were cystic (yellow arrow). The findings are consistent with septic emboli. When septic emboli are present it is important to try and identify the source of infection. Common potential sources include endocarditis or a septic thrombophlebitis. #ThoraxThursday

\Clinicians: Obtain a detailed travel history for patients with fever or acute respiratory symptoms. For patients who were in China, Hong Kong, or Japan and had onset of illness within 2 weeks of leaving, consider coronavirus disease 2019. Immediately notify infection control personnel and your local health department.

\To make infection control effective in a health institution, the following measures should be put in place except: A) Patients habouring resistant organisms should be isolated B) Frequent turnover of health staffs C) Good hand hygiene practices D) Surveillance to identify carriers of resistant organisms
