Infectious disease medicine is the subspecialty of internal medicine, and focuses on diagnosing and managing infections.
It requires an extensive understanding of the types of infections caused by bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic organisms in patients, as well as knowledge about antimicrobial agents, antibiotic resistance, vaccines, and other immunobiological agents. It is a broad-based specialty that encompasses public health and epidemiology, research, novel pathogens and disease transmission.
Infectious diseases physicians are frequently called upon to help diagnose unknown infections and assist in managing difficult, unusual, or complicated infections. Many are either inpatients or outpatients.
For the best patient outcomes, infectious diseases physicians participate in multidisciplinary medical care with nurses, laboratory staff and other medical specialists.
