I wear another hat as Emerging Public Health Crises director. Lots of partnerships with reference labs & public health/CDC over the years. Ben Bradley & I just published this work for anyone interested in the processes and considerations for EUA assays. authors.elsevier.com/a/1hj-R9Cms9Ox…

Happening today! Join us for the Lab Medicine in the Face of Emerging Public Health Crises webinar that will focus on strategies to consider for making your laboratory proactive in responding to the next emerging or reemerging pathogen. bit.ly/48ycGFH

2 dermal punch biopsies from different patients in the lab today. Same end result diagnosis. These were disected out from the tissue. What do you see here? Thank God it is almost ❄️🌨 #parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD ARUP Laboratories

I love Balantioides coli. 🦠 Such a fun organism...but, be careful with iodine and 40X objectives though...easy to overlook. 10X objective screening is critical for this organism. See the difference? Look at those cute little cilia! #parasitology ARUP Laboratories Bobbi Pritt, MD

This is amazing and cool to see. Admittedly, I have not seen this often at all. Continued development of embryos in Ascaris eggs...in fixative! Talk about resilient 🪱! #parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD ARUP Laboratories

This was a fun case. Beautiful little (lesser known) critter! "Sounds" like a pain though... 😆🤣 Photo Quiz: An ear-resistible occupant in a 73-year-old patient | Journal of Clinical Microbiology journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jc… #parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD ARUP Laboratories JClinMicro EIC

I was just inspired to get off my butt and share some more images on here by a colleague at ACLPS 2024 😉 UV image of Paracapillaria in a stool specimen. #parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD ARUP Laboratories

Friday, Funday. This is what we consider...a whole lot of Dientamoeba fragilis! Mostly binucleate forms with variably fragmented karyosomes. #parasitology ARUP Laboratories Bobbi Pritt, MD

Just another stool, another Strongyloides L1 larvae. 🪱 #parasitology ARUP Laboratories Bobbi Pritt, MD

Attending AMP 2024? Don’t miss this discussion on gastrointestinal parasites! Marc Couturier, PhD, D(ABMM), will review the role of multiplex molecular detection tests and discuss applications of nucleic acid testing for parasite detection. #AMP2024 #AMPath24

journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jc… Super excited for this new work our team published (Dr. Angela Ma now at Public Health Ontario & Blaine Mathison at ARUP!). UV autofluorescence microscopy is a great tool that I share pictures of here often 💡🔬🪩 #parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD ARUP Laboratories

When is Strongy, too much Strongy? Well, anytime... But especially...when moms look like they are taking their kids out to the park to play!? Three adult female Strongy and numerous L1 larvae. So much Strongy! #parasitology ARUP Laboratories

This was a fun. The worm was barely recognizable as a worm. It vaguely looked like a proglottid, but the specimen was badly degraded. Clearing the tissue with some lactophenol exposed the genus-level ID. Taenia eggs in utero. Hooklets visible even! #Parasitology Bobbi Pritt, MD

Really enjoying catching up with colleagues and learning new disciplines such as ASP, IP, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Never too old to learn new tricks 😀 Vienna is a wonderful host. If you are here at ESCMID 2025, please come say hi.

This was a very fun experience to present 5 years of work in just a few minutes. But the audience was great and the discussions with colleagues afterwards was very enriching. The AI movement is huge in microbiology. The more work and the more experiences, the better it will be!

Happy Medical Laboratory Professionals Week 2025 to all my amazing lab folks! Keep doing the amazing "dirty" work that nobody else sees. 🧪🧫🧬💩 🤜🔬🤛 NorDx Laboratory

A prime welcome back to the northeast. This poor patient had a rip-roaring case of anaplasmosis diagnosed initially by blood smear and confirmed by PCR. The ticks are bad this year!!! (Removed these from my clothes with packing tape after a casual walk in the woods!)

This was amazing work by an amazing team! Happy to see it rolling out and changing the game!
