Infectious Disease

CHI Memorial Infectious Disease Associates focus on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, and they can spread from person to person or through other modes of transmission.

Infectious disease specialists are trained to identify and manage a wide range of infectious conditions, ranging from common infections to rare and complex diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, or emerging infectious diseases. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care to patients with infectious diseases.

Infectious disease specialists use various diagnostic techniques to identify the causative agent of an infection. This may involve analyzing blood, tissue, or other body fluids, as well as performing imaging studies or other tests. Once a diagnosis is made, infectious disease specialists develop treatment plans tailored to the specific infection. This may include prescribing antibiotics, antiviral medications, antifungal drugs, or other targeted therapies. They also monitor the response to treatment and make adjustments as necessary.

CHI Memorial Infectious Disease Associates specializes in diagnosing and treating difficult, unusual and complicated illnesses caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses.
