Your primary care physician may refer you to an ID specialist in cases where an infection is difficult to diagnose, accompanied by high fever or doesn’t respond to treatment.
Immunizations/vaccinations - One of the best ways to prevent infectious disease is immunization, thanks to modern vaccines now available. It is recommended that all children be vaccinated against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, polio, measles, rubella (German measles), mumps, Haemophilus influenzae type B (a common cause of pneumonia and meningitis in infants), hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox) and influenza.
IV Antibiotic Therapy - Treatments typically consist of medicines to help battle the infection and prevent it from returning. Many times, IV antibiotic therapy is used, which decreases the likelihood that a patient will need to be hospitalized.
HIV/AIDS Treatment - Geisinger’s Infectious Disease department offers comprehensive treatment of HIV including, medication administration, immune system evaluation, preventative-care immunization, close monitoring of the patient’s response to therapy and assessment of psychological evaluation.
