Infectious Diseases

Women need to be particularly careful if they have been exposed to an infectious disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cautions that women are at higher risk and can experience more severe courses of an infectious disease than men. Biology as well as social and cultural factors play a role in this disparity.

Our infectious diseases physicians offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment of a wide variety of illnesses caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

We treat conditions including:

• AIDS/HIV
• Influenza
• MRSA
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Small pox
• Travel-related infectious diseases
• Tuberculosis
• West Nile Virus

Infectious diseases experts assist referring physicians in the treatment and management of these conditions.
