Abstract
BACKGROUND The CDC and ACIP recommend COVID-19 vaccination for patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI). Not much is known about vaccine safety in IEI, and whether vaccination attenuates infection severity in IEI. OBJECTIVE To estimate COVID-19 vaccination safety and examine effect on outcomes in patients with IEI. METHODS We built a secure registry database in conjunction with the US Immunodeficiency Network to examine vaccination frequency and indicators of safety and effectiveness in IEI patients. The registry opened on January 1, 2022, and closed on August 19, 2022. RESULTS Physicians entered data on 1245 patients from 24 countries. The most common diagnoses were antibody deficiencies (63.7%). At least one COVID-19 vaccine was administered to 806 patients (64.7%), and 216 patients received vaccination prior to the development of COVID-19. The most common vaccines administered were mRNA-based (84.0%). Seventeen patients were reported to seek outpatient clinic or emergency room care for a vaccine-related complication, and one patient was hospitalized for symptomatic anemia. Eight hundred twenty-three patients (66.1%) experienced COVID-19 infection. Of these, 156 patients required hospitalization (19.0%), 47 required ICU care (5.7%), and 28 died (3.4%). Rates of hospitalization (9.3% versus 24.4%, p < 0.001), ICU admission (2.8% versus 7.6%, p = 0.013), and death (2.3% versus 4.3%, p = 0.202) in patients who had COVID-19 were lower in patients who received vaccination prior to infection. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, not having at least one COVID-19 vaccine significantly increased the odds of hospitalization and ICU admission. CONCLUSION Vaccination for COVID-19 in the IEI population appears safe and attenuates COVID-19 severity.

Abstract
This case illustrates a 5-week-old girl who presented with decreased activity, decreased feeds, poor suck, weak cry, lethargy, hypotonia, and areflexia. The child was found to have infant botulism. The case demonstrates the importance of a full history and broad differential in an ill-appearing infant. The differential for an ill-appearing infant should always include infectious etiologies and may include metabolic disorders, congenital anomalies, nonaccidental trauma, neurologic disorders, and endocrine disorders. The broad differential diagnosis may make rapid diagnosis and treatment for infantile botulism a challenge.

Abstract
There are limited resources for guidance on the transition from fellowship into a new faculty role in pediatric infectious diseases. This review aims to address this gap and provides a framework for a successful transition that is composed of four essential pillars-(1) stepping into your role, (2) finding your niche, (3) building your network, and (4) self-care-all of which are supported by strong mentorship/sponsorship and continual realignment with one's personal mission statement. In addition to providing general principles and guidance, this review also outlines specific steps that a junior faculty member can take to expand their influence and build a successful, fulfilling career in pediatric infectious diseases.

Abstract
Background Acute hematogenous osteomyelitis (AHO) is a relatively infrequent but significant infection in pediatric patients. As Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of AHO, intravenous and oral first-generation cephalosporins are common therapies. Cephalexin is a commonly prescribed oral therapy for pediatric AHO, although it requires frequent dosing that may affect adherence. Cefadroxil is a comparable oral first-generation cephalosporin with a more desirable dosing schedule. Methods We reviewed pediatric patients admitted to Mayo Clinic between March 2002 and September 2020 for management of AHO who received treatment with a first-generation cephalosporin. We reviewed timing of oral therapy transition, therapy-associated adverse effects, and recurrence of disease after completion of therapy. Results There were 59 patients included in the study. There was similar occurrence of adverse effects in patients receiving cefadroxil and cephalexin, although use of cefadroxil coincided with more gastrointestinal adverse effects and leukopenia and use of cephalexin with more rash and neutropenia. One secondary treatment failure occurred in our study, in a patient receiving cephalexin for treatment of septic arthritis. Conclusions Cefadroxil may be a reasonable alternative oral therapy for methicillin-susceptible S aureus or culture-negative AHO in pediatric patients, particularly when a less frequent dosing schedule is desired. Future study with a larger sample size is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabbing is a technique that is commonly used to test pediatric patients for viral infections with increased use during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Complications from NP swabbing are rare and seem to occur more frequently in patients at risk of bleeding. Little is known about institutional or individual practices and experiences with NP swab testing in pediatric patients with risk factors for bleeding. METHODS We conducted a survey study of pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) attending physicians to assess practices and experiences with NP swab testing in pediatric patients with thrombocytopenia and/or on anticoagulation. RESULTS There were 130 total respondents (5.6%, n = 130/2327) from 6 countries. Relatively few respondents (n = 17/130, 13.1%) reported that their institution had a policy specifying a lower-level platelet cutoff for patients undergoing NP swabbing. The median platelet cutoff below which NP swabs are not performed according to existing policies is 30,000×10(9)/L (interquartile range: 20,000 to 40,000). The median cutoff based on the opinion of the respondents was 10,000 (interquartile range: 10,000 to 20,000). There were 24 episodes of epistaxis among PHO patients that were NP swabbed; many adverse events (56.5%, n = 13/23) were described as persistent, severe, and/or required intervention. Three reported cases of epistaxis with anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy occurred in patients with concomitant thrombocytopenia. Only 1 respondent (n = 1/130, 0.7%) reported an institutional policy for limiting NP swabs in patients on anticoagulant therapy. NP (66.9%) and nares (33.1%) were the most common sources of coronavirus disease 2019 testing that were reported. CONCLUSION A small percentage of institutions in this survey have a policy restricting NP swabs in PHO patients. The discrepancy between lower platelet cutoffs proposed by experts and institutional policy suggests that existing policies may be too conservative. Expert guidelines are needed on this topic. Other bleeding risk factors (eg, aspirin use and von Willebrand disease) should be considered in policies and guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the United States, rare disease (RD) is defined as a condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals. Collectively, RD affects an estimated 30 million Americans. A significant portion of RD has an underlying genetic cause; however, this may go undiagnosed. To better serve these patients, the Mayo Clinic Program for Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases (PRaUD) was created under the auspices of the Center for Individualized Medicine (CIM) aiming to integrate genomics into subspecialty practice including targeted genetic testing, research, and education. METHODS Patients were identified by subspecialty healthcare providers from 11 clinical divisions/departments. Targeted multi-gene panels or custom exome/genome-based panels were utilized. To support the goals of PRaUD, a new clinical service model, the Genetic Testing and Counseling (GTAC) unit, was established to improve access and increase efficiency for genetic test facilitation. The GTAC unit includes genetic counselors, genetic counseling assistants, genetic nurses, and a medical geneticist. Patients receive abbreviated point-of-care genetic counseling and testing through a partnership with subspecialty providers. RESULTS Implementation of PRaUD began in 2018 and GTAC unit launched in 2020 to support program expansion. Currently, 29 RD clinical indications are included in 11 specialty divisions/departments with over 142 referring providers. To date, 1152 patients have been evaluated with an overall solved or likely solved rate of 17.5% and as high as 66.7% depending on the phenotype. Noteworthy, 42.7% of the solved or likely solved patients underwent changes in medical management and outcome based on genetic test results. CONCLUSION Implementation of PRaUD and GTAC have enabled subspecialty practices advance expertise in RD where genetic counselors have not historically been embedded in practice. Democratizing access to genetic testing and counseling can broaden the reach of patients with RD and increase the diagnostic yield of such indications leading to better medical management as well as expanding research opportunities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 2016, the IDWeek program committee was charged with ensuring gender equity in speaker sessions. Whether this charge also resulted in more opportunities for historically underrepresented speakers is unknown. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of trends in the demographic composition of IDWeek speakers and program committee members between 2013 and 2021. We used descriptive statistics to summarize data, χ2 tests to compare speaker demographics between 2013-2016 (before 2016) and 2017-2021 (after 2016), and Cochran-Armitage tests for trend. Each speaker slot was considered an independent event. RESULTS A total of 5482 speaker slots were filled by 3389 individuals from 2013 to 2021. There was a linear increase in female speakers from 38.6% in 2013 to 58.4% in 2021 (P < .001). The proportion of white speakers decreased overall from 84.9% in 2013 to 63.5% in 2021. Compared with white speakers, more slots were filled by Asian speakers after 2016 versus before 2016 (20.1% vs 14.8%, respectively; P < .001). Program committee members from 2013-2021 were >80% non-Hispanic white; <5% of committee members identified as black, American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic. More program committee slots were filled by women after 2016 than before 2016 (52.7% vs 33.9%; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS Intentional consideration of gender equity by the program committee was associated with equitable gender representation of invited speakers at IDWeek after 2016. Gradually, the proportions of IDWeek speakers from historically excluded racial/ethnic approached their respective proportions in the IDSA membership. White speakers remained overrepresented relative to membership proportions until 2021, and gaps in program committee racial/ethnic demographic representation highlights opportunities for continued inclusion, diversity, access, and equity at IDWeek.

Abstract
Cytomegalovirus (CMV), like other herpesviruses, has the unique ability to establish latent infection with subsequent reactivation during periods of stress and immunosuppression. Herpesviruses cause potentially devastating disease, particularly in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients. CMV is especially of concern in HSCT recipients given the high community seroprevalence, high risk of reactivation and high risk of transmission from HSCT donors to recipients causing primary infection after transplantation. The risk of CMV infection and severity of CMV disease varies depending on the underlying disease of the HSCT recipient, donor and recipient CMV status prior to HSCT, type of conditioning therapy in preparation for HSCT, allogeneic versus autologous HSCT, donor graft source, timing of infection in relation to HSCT, and other patient comorbidities. Different strategies exist for prevention (e.g., preemptive therapy vs. universal prophylaxis) as well as management of CMV disease (e.g., antiviral therapy, augmenting immune reconstitution, cytotoxic T-cell therapy). The purpose of this narrative review is to discuss diagnosis, prevention, and management of CMV infection and disease at different stages of HSCT, including key points illustrated through presentations of complex cases and difficult clinical scenarios. Traditional and novel strategies for CMV management will be discussed in the context of these unique clinical cases.

Abstract
Background Over the last decade, there have been sustained efforts to diversify the healthcare workforce. In 2016, the IDWeek Program Committee was charged to ensure gender equity in speaker sessions. Whether this intervention also resulted in more opportunities for underrepresented speakers has not been determined. Methods This project was supported by IDSA, who provided demographic information on IDWeek speakers (excluding poster sessions) from 2013-2019. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics, and chi-square analysis evaluated changes over time. Each speaker slot was considered an independent event. Data was combined for 2013-2016 (≤2016) and 2017-2019 (>2016). IDSA membership demographics were available from 2014 for gender, race/ethnicity, from 2016 for age, and from 2018 for professional degree. Results A total of 3640 speaker slots were filled by 2504 individuals from 2013-2019. A larger proportion of speaker slots were filled by women >2016 (51%) vs ≤ 2016 (43%), with a linear increase from 38.6% in 2013 to 52.1% in 2019 (p< 0.001). Averaged across 2013-2019, IDSA membership was 67.5% White, 20.6% Asian, 7.7% Latinx, 3.9% Black, and 0.4% Other. IDWeek Speakers during that timeframe were 77.7% White, 13.9% Asian, 4.7% Latinx, 2.7% Black, and 1.0% Other; a larger proportion of slots were filled by Asian speakers >2016 (16.3%) vs ≤ 2016 (12.8%) (p=0.005). The proportion of pharmacist speakers increased over time; 5.1% of speakers in 2019 reflected IDSA pharmacist membership (5.4%). The proportion of individuals invited to speak more than once differed by age (19% in < 40yo, 28% 40-49yo, 32% 50-59yo, and 22% >60yo; p< 0.001), and professional degree (28% physicians, 18% pharmacists, 9% other doctorates, and 7% non-doctorate speakers; p< 0.001). Figure 1: Trends in Gender Distribution of IDWeek Speakers and IDSA Members, 2013-2019 ![]()
Figure 2: Trends in Race/Ethnicity Distribution of IDWeek Speakers and IDSA Members, 2013-2019 ![]()
Conclusion Intentional consideration of gender equity by the Program Committee significantly improved equitable gender representation of invited speakers at IDWeek. This effort has not resulted in increased diversity of invited speakers from groups underrepresented in IDSA membership. To ensure that invited speakers represent the membership of IDSA/IDWeek partner organizations and more importantly, the communities we serve, we call for continued application of the principles of Inclusion, Diversity, Access, and Equity at IDWeek.

Abstract
Human N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) and 2 (NAT2) are important phase II enzymes involved in the biotransformation of xenobiotics. In toxicity and carcinogenicity studies, functional polymorphism of rat N-acetyltransferase is considered a model for similar human variability. To accurately quantitate expression of the three rat N-acetyltransferases, we developed sensitive, specific assays for Nat1, Nat2, and Nat3 mRNAs. In male F344 rats, tissue-specific expression varied over a limited range for both Nat1 (approximately 19-fold) and Nat2 (approximately 30-fold), with the highest expression of both genes in colon. Expression of Nat3 mRNA was at least 2 to 3 orders of magnitude less than that of Nat1 or Nat2. Comparison of Nat1 and Nat2 mRNA expression in bladder, colon, liver, and lung of male and female F344 rats detected no significant gender-specific difference. In Sprague-Dawley and F344 rats ranging in age from neonate to mature adult, colon showed a >10-fold increase in Nat2 during the first postnatal month that did not correlate with changes in Nat1. In contrast, Nat2 showed no developmental change in Sprague-Dawley or F344 liver as Nat1 increased modestly. These measures of rat Nat expression confirm that Nat3 expression is negligible and that Nat1 and Nat2 are the primary determinants of arylamine acetylation activity in all tissues tested. The findings demonstrate differential tissue-specific and developmental regulation of the rat Nat1 and Nat2 genes and contribute to more complete understanding of tissue-, gender-, and development-specific expression patterns of the cognate N-acetyltransferase genes of humans and other species.
