Infectious Disease

An infectious disease (ID) specialist is a doctor of internal medicine who is qualified as an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. ID specialists have expertise in infections of the sinuses, heart, brain, lungs, urinary tract, bowel, bones and pelvic organs. Infections can be linked to the following organisms:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Fungi
  • Parasites

Infectious disease physicians specialize in treating patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.

Infectious disease specialists have extensive knowledge about the use of antibiotics and their potential adverse effects along with immunology (how the body’s immune system fights infection), epidemiology (how infections spread) and infection control.
