Infectious Disease Care
Our infectious diseases team offers in-depth evaluation and management of adult patients with bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral diseases, including HIV and its complications, bone and joint infections, mycobacterial diseases, Lyme disease and tropical infections.
We also provide consultation services, including assessment of complications and prevention of infections associated with states of immunosuppression, such as chemotherapy and other immunosuppressive therapies, and prevention of infectious diseases during travel, including vaccinations.
Our fellowship-trained infectious diseases specialist will provide in-hospital and office consultation offering you the best available care.
Many common infections can be treated by your primary care provider. Your provider might refer you to an infectious disease specialist when:
- An infection is difficult to diagnose.
- An infection is accompanied by a high fever.
- Not responding to treatment.
- Planning to travel to a foreign country or a location where infection risk is higher.
- Treating illnesses can become a part of an overall care plan, for example if diagnosed with HIV/AIDS.
In all of these cases, the specialized training and diagnostic tools of the infectious diseases specialist can help determine the cause of your infection and the best approach to treatment.
