Infectious Disease

The medical subfield concerned with infectious disease is complex and challenging. It involves diagnosing and treating the type of viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections that can wreak havoc on a body and spread like wildfire.

At Consolidated Medical Practices of Memphis (CMPM), our infectious disease specialists focus on difficult-to-diagnose and treatment-resistant infections, including the growing number of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, which often require rigorous and nonstandard therapeutic approaches.

How Infectious Diseases Are Transmitted

There are an immense number of infectious diseases in the world. Some are transmitted between people, some via bug or animal bites, and you may become infected with others after consuming contaminated food or water.

Compounding the complexity of treating infectious diseases is the fact that many of these microorganisms are constantly mutating and evolving in an effort to avoid detection and eradication. It takes an infectious disease specialist to understand how a particular type of infection spreads and how best to treat it.
