Infectious Diseases

Our infectious disease specialists are committed to the highest level of patient care

Infectious diseases kill more people worldwide than any other single cause. Infectious diseases are caused by germs. Germs are tiny living things that are found everywhere – in air, soil and water. You can get infected by touching, eating, drinking or breathing something that contains a germ.

Our infectious disease specialists are committed to the highest level of patient care, as well as educating people about disease prevention. Our infectious disease physicians have made significant contributions to advancing the basic science and clinical care of viral and bacterial conditions such as HIV and AIDS, Staphylococcus aureus infections, hepatitis B and C, and tuberculosis. Our clinicians have ready access to advanced diagnostic techniques and the multidisciplinary team necessary to treat these complex conditions.
