  • The growing popularity of global travel heightens the need for expertise in the prevention and treatment of travel-related \xe2\x80\x98international\xe2\x80\x99 diseases.
Specialists in infectious diseases typically treat conditions including:
  • Bone infections.
  • HIV.
  • Pneumonia.
  • Viral hepatitis (inflammation of the liver).
Less commonly they may also treat conditions including:
  • Cholera.
  • Dengue.
  • Diphtheria.

  • Ebola.
  • Malaria.
  • Meningitis (inflammation of the brain membranes).
