About This Service

What is infectious disease treatment?

Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites — and can affect any organ system. Some resolve quickly with standard treatment; others require prolonged therapy, specialist investigation, or infection-control measures. Early identification of the causative organism guides effective treatment and prevents complications.

Clinical Approach

How Dr. Kakar approaches treatment.

Dr. Kakar evaluates the full clinical picture — travel history, immune status, exposure history, and prior antibiotic use — before ordering targeted investigations. Treatment is guided by culture and sensitivity results wherever possible, minimising unnecessary antibiotic use and resistance risk.

Clinical Guidance
