Infectious Disease
Infectious disease medicine includes the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or protozoa and parasites. Though some infectious diseases are not contagious, transmission of an infection may occur through physical contact, contaminated food, body fluids or airborne inhalation. Infectious disease treats conditions associated with pneumonia, malaria, meningitis, MRSA, HIV and other STDs.

Q: How does someone contract Lyme disease?

A:
Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria that certain types of ticks carry, especially deer ticks in the Northeast. You contract Lyme disease when bitten by an infected tick. A bulls-eye rash pattern resulting from the tick bite is commonly associated with Lyme disease and there are flu-like symptoms. You should check carefully for ticks after hiking or walking in wooded or grassy areas.
