The common cold. It’s an annoying but usually mild local infection we’ve all battled at one time or another. But maybe you’re up against a much tougher infectious disease — such as HIV or hepatitis — that has long-term effects on your whole body and life. In that case, you’ll want a team behind you that helps you fight for better health.
Infectious diseases are caused by tiny organisms (life forms) that get through your body’s natural defenses and grow into symptoms that can range from mild to deadly. Emory Infectious Diseases offer caring treatment for people who have major infections such as:
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
- Hepatitis
- Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- Transplant Infections
- Travel-related Infections
- Lyme Disease
- Ebola Virus
- Zika
- and more
