An inpatient antimicrobial stewardship team driven penicillin allergy delabeling protocol for minimal and low-risk penicillin allergic patients.

Inappropriate penicillin allergy labeling results in suboptimal or excessive broad spectrum antibiotic use. In this multidisciplinary project, the antimicrobial stewardship team safely delabeled 71.4% of hospitalized patients approached.

Persistent SARS-CoV-2 infectivity greater than 50 days in a case series of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant recipients.

The coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic has infected tens of millions across the world, but there is a significant gap in our understanding about COVID-19 in the hematopoietic stem transplant (HSCT) recipient population. Prolonged viral shedding is frequently observed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARSCoV-2), but studies suggest viral loads decline 10 days after symptom onset. Current CDC guidance suggests that severely ill and immunocompromised hosts are no longer infectious after 20 days from symptom onset.
