Infectious Diseases

Juris Medicus’ infectious disease experts are board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and have completed a fellowship devoted to clinical training in infections, investigational process, and research.

Infectious disease specialists diagnose and treat the variety of conditions caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. These diseases can be spread by people, environmental exposure, animal and insect bites, and contaminated food and water. The common cold, influenza, pneumonia, SARS, salmonella, chickenpox, and COVID-19 are examples of infectious diseases, though not all necessitate treatment by an infectious disease doctor. Difficulties obtaining a diagnosis, unresponsiveness to treatment, antibiotic-resistant infections, and chronic infections such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and hepatitis are complex cases that typically warrant a patient’s referral to an infectious disease doctor.
