▪️ High-profile man on Twitter tweets an article he had no part in writing - gets 100s of RTs & likes, and "thanks."
▪️ Woman who authored the paper after year(s) of hard work, tweets it and gets NO RTs, 1 like, and no "thanks."
F-CK that.

Misogyny and sexism are alive and well.

This is not a 'one-off.' I see it every day.
Man = hero.
Woman = almost zero.

🆕: ⚠️Not so mild 🦠#COVID19
in this immunosuppressed patient
- development of atypical, severe, acute 🧠 meningitis
ijidonline.com/article/S1201-… #bioinformatics #womeninstem #openscience #scicomm #snrtg #genomics #immunology

This patient could not have wound up in better hands:
National Institute of Infectious Diseases
“Lazzaro Spallanzani” IRCCS- Rome, 🇮🇹 Italy
👍 great job treating this patient,
sequencing and monitoring🧬the 🦠strain,
...and saving her life
#openscience #scicomm

I have found only a handful of reports in literature of
🦠Sars-Cov-2 induced🧠 meningitis. I thought there would be more. Caveat: it's exceedingly rare, but it does happen.

🦠 ->🧠
I'm seeing a noticeable ⬆️uptick
in these disturbing reports:
#COVID19-associated psychosis in young patients
with *NO* prior history of mental-illness
publications.aap.org/pediatrics/art… #serverless #womeninstem #itrtg #scicomm #openscience #iot #neuroscience

He expressed that "the information system in his brain had been deleted,"
and the government was “coming for him.”
He experienced auditory hallucinations;
“everyone around the world is saying not to let the
doctors do the test” and believed the tests would kill him."

Sars-Cov-2 🦠and ➡️ the 🧠brain
(a partial list of pathology) :
➡️ encephalitis, encephalopathy, seizures, Parkinsonism, altered consciousness, stroke, ataxia, myclonia, hallucinations, psychosis, brain hemorrhaging, vasculitis, coma...
Not just an illness of the 🫁 lungs.

Relapsed/persistent
🦠Sars-Cov-2 escaped detection in these
2⚠️immunocompromised patients
...good thing these inquistive teams dug "deeper."
sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #bioinformatics #openscience #itrtg #COVID19 #iot #scicomm #immunology #virology

"2 cases occult SarsCov2 in immunocompromised hosts: Dx originally not suspected due to repeat negative SARS-CoV-2 from NP specimens
isolation of viable SARS-CoV-2 virus + nucleocapsid + spike-protein antigen in lung tissue on immunohistochemistry 3-months from primary infection"

"suggests ongoing 🦠viral persistence and replication as a driver of the lung parenchymal changes,
which resolved after antiviral treatment."
Both patients survived:
discharged on days 80 and 100 respectively.

7⃣+ months of Norovirus🦠positivity➕
in this ⚠️Primary Immunodeficiency patient
▪️ Rx-resistant
🧬-> intra-host evolution led to a unique norovirus strain
bit.ly/3RbH53d #bioinformatics #openscience #scicomm #itrtg #raredisease #genomics #immunology

Very much in line with what has been seen
in some persistent🦠Sars-Cov-2 infections in immunocompromised hosts.
▪️ viral-clearance failure
▪️ within-host viral evolution/mutations
*the report gives no indication on the fate of the patient.

⚠️Immunocompromised patients ⚠️as atypical
"outliers" with almost every🦠infectious pathogen (circa 2017).
❗️ PLEASE doctors - keep a good 👁️eye on those
with compromised immune-systems

⚠️Beware🦠Omicron:
It doesn't give *⃣ 2 shits *⃣ if you've been infected
with prior variants
...and get💉vaxxed!
wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/28… #bioinformatics #serverless #openscience #snrtg #scicomm #immunology

*⃣ Sorry - I posted the link to the graph
This is the link to the article itself:
wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/28…

The best protection against infection
and/or reinfection with Omicron🦠:
Vaxx/boost💉➕ masking 😷
