Infectious Disease Specialists are medical doctors who focus on diagnosing and treating infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They have extensive training in understanding how these pathogens affect the body and how to manage diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. Their expertise is crucial in controlling outbreaks and providing guidance on vaccination and prevention strategies. These specialists often work in hospitals, clinics, or research settings, collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure patients receive comprehensive care. They also play a key role in educating the public about infection prevention and the importance of antibiotic stewardship to combat antibiotic resistance.
