Infectious Disease

We diagnose and treat infections — and help prevent them in the first place.

Infectious disease doctors receive special training to treat infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. Infections can be passed from one person to another, spread by animal or insect bites or obtained by consuming contaminated food or water.

Infections We Treat

Our experts help treat and manage a range of infections, including:

• West Nile
• Infections from a weakened immune system
• Infections of the bone or joints
• Skin infections
• Tuberculosis

Signs of Infection

While symptoms can vary, common warning signs include:

• Fever
• Muscle aches
• Diarrhea
• Coughing
• Fatigue
• Difficulty breathing
• Rash or swelling

Diagnosis and Treatment

Our team works with you and your doctor to determine the tests you’ll need. From there, we’ll create a treatment plan that not only focuses on the current infection, but also helps prevent recurring infections and minimizes side effects.
