Abstract

Background: Infectious Disease (ID) clinician's social media use for peer consultation is unstudied. Methods: We reviewed ID peer consultation via Twitter over a 6-week period. Results: We found this practice frequently solicited meaningful replies, but we identified potential for confidentiality breaches. Conclusions: We offer recommendations for responsible discussion of clinical scenarios via social media.
