About Infectious Disease
Infectious Disease specialists are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses caused by microorganisms.
The skills of the Infectious Disease specialist are not confined to a single organ system or cause - they include expertise in infections of any type and any cause.
Our specialists also possess a particular insight into many subjects related to or under the umbrella of infectious disease, including:
- Immunology (how the body fights infection)
- Epidemiology (how infections spread)
- Infection control
- The use of antibiotics as well as their potential adverse effects
