👉 Infectionist is a healthcare professional who specializes in treating and managing infections. They work with patients to prevent, diagnose, and treat infections that can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other microorganisms. Infections are often caused by exposure to pathogens through contact with contaminated surfaces or materials, as well as through the body's immune system's response to infection. The goal of an infectionist is to ensure that patients receive appropriate treatment to prevent complications and promote recovery.
