The Medical Associates Department of Internal Medicine provides
an internist who subspecializes in Infectious Diseases ("ID").
This field of medicine deals with infections caused by bacteria,
viruses, and other microorganisms including fungi, parasites, and
mycobacteria (the organisms which cause the many forms of tuberculosis,
HIV, and hepatitis). The types of clinical problems which an ID
physician commonly sees are pneumonia, complicated orthopedic (bone)
infections, complicated skin and soft tissue infections (especially
in diabetic persons), bloodstream infections, abscesses, heart valve
infections, and meningitis.
The ID physician provides diagnostic and therapeutic services,
including guiding the administration of complicated antibiotic regimens.
In addition, advice regarding travel and immunizations (including
yellow fever) are available for those patients planning trips outside
of the United States.
The ID physician works closely with the other Clinic physicians,
including Internists, General Surgeons, Orthopedic Surgeons, Cardiovascular
Surgeons, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Pediatricians.
