What is an Infectious Disease specialist?

Infectious Disease Specialists are like medical detectives. They examine difficult cases, looking for clues to identify the culprit and solve the problem.

When do you need an Infectious Disease specialist?

ID specialists are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses caused by microorganisms. The specialized training and diagnostic tools of the ID specialist can help determine the cause of your infection and the best approach to treatment.

Many common infections can be treated by your personal physician. Your doctor might refer you to an ID specialist in cases where an infection is difficult to diagnose or requires complex treatment.
