About this specialty
Infectious diseases covers the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral and fungal infection, fever of unknown origin, recurrent or antibiotic-resistant infection, infection in children and in immunocompromised patients, and antibiotic stewardship.
An infection that fails to respond is usually the wrong diagnosis or the wrong antibiotic rather than too small a dose. Our consultants review cultures, laboratory results and the medication history, and explain whether the current treatment targets the right organism — and when continuing antibiotics does more harm than good.
