Inappropriate Description of Glycopeptide Infusion Reaction

When looking through the antimicrobial tab and checking out Vancomycin, dalbavancin, and Oritavancin I was shocked to find that the infusion related reaction that can occur with these agents was titled “Red Man Syndrome” which is absurdly insensitive and inappropriate to the Native American population. I would strongly advice you all to re-word this adverse reaction.

This app is…

In the spirit of the guidelines, I’d say due to case reports and anecdotal evidence in that it is easier to google the IDSA website and their guidelines than use this app (which most of the non-IDSA guidelines link out of anyway so you can’t use the app to annotate it), I would recommend AGAINST using this app. (Strong Recommendation, Low-Quality of Evidence)

Needs Lots Of Work

This app is super trash.

So much potential....but needs more timely updates

Must include recently updated guidelines to be more useful than a Google search -- at minimum a link to the journal page.
The very first guideline i looked for (NTM) linked to the archived 2007 version although the new guideline was published more than 4 months ago.
Conversely, the search function is VERY helpful since it retrieves references to a search term in multiple guidelines.

Needs update on covid-19

No covid-19 update since April. Come on.

Clunky

App is very clunky and not super user-friendly (similar to ACC app). Good resource though..
