Conditions we treat
Prolonged fever, resistant or recurring infections, brucellosis and TB, hepatitis and HIV, and advice before travel, each explained in plain language.
Prolonged fever, or a fever that will not go away
If a fever lasts several days or weeks, or keeps coming back after treatment, the cause needs to be found. This page explains what the doctor asks, which tests may be needed, and why taking antibiotics just to bring the fever down is not the right approach.
Read moreResistant, recurring and deep infections
An infection that does not clear with treatment, keeps coming back, or has reached the bone or a foot wound needs a closer look. This page explains what "resistance" means, who is more at risk, and the steps of investigation and treatment.
Read moreBrucellosis and tuberculosis
Brucellosis and tuberculosis are both bacterial infections. Treatment takes weeks or months, and stopping it halfway is dangerous. This page explains how each one spreads, what the symptoms are, and why the course must be finished.
Read moreHepatitis and HIV
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can now be identified and treated. This page explains in plain language what each one is, that they are not passed on by everyday contact, which tests are involved, and how far treatment can help.
