Infectious Diseases
What are Infectious Diseases?
Infectious diseases is an umbrella term to include diseases caused by various organisms – viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites.
Infectious diseases can be spread from person to person, like sexually transmitted infections. Others may be transmitted by animals or insects such as tick-borne infections. Additionally, some infectious diseases can be caused by exposure to organisms in the environment or consuming contaminated food or water.
Our providers who specialize in infectious diseases are dedicated to ensuring that you receive high-quality care and treatment from your very first appointment.
Infectious diseases range from mild to severe based on the timeline of treatment. Having a facility such as MMG nearby that can diagnose and provide full care for these diseases is important when it comes to healing. The MMG staff and specialists have both the technology and experience to provide comprehensive and critical care.
