Infectious Diseases
Anyone can get an infectious disease. But if you have a heart condition, a weak immune system or are getting cancer treatments, you might be at higher risk. Or perhaps you’ve had an organ transplant. Or maybe you’re planning to travel the world. No matter the reason, coming down with infectious diseases can cause serious problems. If that happens, Cleveland Clinic has the answers and care you need. Our team can quickly confirm what’s going on and start personalized treatment. No matter your needs, you’ll have compassionate, expert healthcare providers on your side.
Why Choose Cleveland Clinic for Infectious Disease Care?
Comprehensive care:
We treat all kinds of infections at Cleveland Clinic — like ones in your bones, joints, heart, lungs and brain. No matter your diagnosis, we can provide the treatment you need. We even offer preventive and post-travel care for globetrotters. Ask your primary care provider (PCP) for a referral to start treatment with our dedicated team.
Caring approach:
When you have an infectious disease, you might feel uncertain or anxious about what to do next. We understand how unnerving this can be. That’s why you can count on us for compassionate care from evaluation and testing through treatment and recovery.
Specialized knowledge:
Our infectious diseases care follows research-based national treatment guidelines. This means you can feel secure knowing you’re getting the latest tests and treatments for your infection, like antimicrobial therapy. And you’ll get the best care for your unique needs. All from expert teams of specialists in our practice areas like HIV or infections in your lungs, heart, brain or bones. Or infections after you’ve had an organ transplant.
Innovation and research:
Cleveland Clinic providers work daily to find new tests and treatments for people with all types of infectious diseases. We do this by using clinical trials of medications, tools and therapies not widely available. Ask your care team if there’s a study that could work for you.
Virtual visits:
There’s no place like home when you’re recovering from an infection. And sometimes all you want to do is stay there. Cleveland Clinic’s virtual visits let you have some follow-up appointments with your providers online. You’ll get the same great care as you do at an office visit — without leaving home. All you need to log on is an internet connection and a smartphone, tablet or computer.
National recognition:
Cleveland Clinic is a trusted healthcare leader. We’re recognized in the U.S. and through the world for our expertise and care.
