Infectious Disease Medicine
PCCAB’s infectious disease specialists provide outpatient consultation and care to diagnose, evaluate, treat, prevent and manage a broad range of infections and related illnesses.
The challenge with infectious diseases is that the same infection can manifest itself in different forms. Having an organism grow in a clinical specimen does not always mean it is causing a problem; and non-infectious illnesses may look like an infection. Skilled specialists ask the right questions and choose specific diagnostics to uncover the root problem. Once the disease is pinpointed, there are a variety of treatment options to help you get back to good health.
