What is an ID Specialist?
Infectious Diseases Specialists have extensive training and knowledge of how viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi affect the body. Much like medical detectives, they investigate difficult cases, parsing through the evidence, looking for clues to identify the culprit and solve the problem. Infectious Diseases Specialists review your medical data, including X-rays and laboratory reports such as blood work, cultures, and pathology data to help determine the cause of the problem.
Infectious Diseases Specialists typically undergo 9-10 years of specialized education and training: 4 years of medical school, 3 years training as a doctor of internal medicine, and 2-3 years of specialized training in Infectious Diseases. Many common infections can be treated by your personal physician or an internist. In cases where an infection is difficult to diagnose or does not respond to treatment, your doctor might refer you to an Infectious Diseases Specialist.
