Appointment Helpline
The core of infectious disease treatment lies in the diagnostic aspect. There are several hundreds of thousands of different kinds of bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. that can cause complex combinations of symptoms. The ID specialist will run a series of tests in a particular order to eliminate possibilities in sequence. This is because some tests work to detect certain microorganisms but not others. A combination of symptoms as well as test results will lead the ID specialist to the correct diagnosis.
