Manipal Hospitals' team of ID specialists (infectious disease specialists) diagnoses and treats complex cases of infectious disease with a multidisciplinary approach.

It is estimated that there are 390 million cases of dengue infection globally every year. Around 4 billion people are estimated to be at risk of contracting dengue in 128 countries. There are four different types of dengue virus, which means that it is possible to be infected upto 4 times. The use of mosquito repellants, closed drains and proper disposal of garbage can reduce the risk of dengue dramatically. Rural settlements with lower incidences of plastic waste are at lower risk of contracting dengue. Manipal Hospitals' ID specialists rely on accurate diagnostics for effective treatment. Working with experts across disciplines like microbiology helps identify the exact nature and cause of symptoms as well as the correct treatment. The team works hard to control and treat diseases while maintaining lower risks of transfer of infection.
