How to Choose the Right Infectious Disease Specialist in Narsingi
- Check the qualification: look for a DM in infectious diseases, or an FNB or fellowship in infectious diseases after MD or DNB in medicine.
- Match the problem: long-lasting fever, tropical infections, tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, infections after surgery or transplant and resistant bacteria all fall under this speciality.
- Look at the set-up: a good microbiology lab with culture and sensitivity testing, and an antibiotic stewardship programme, are important.
- Bring your records: all fever charts, blood and urine culture reports, scans and a list of every antibiotic taken, with dates, help the visit.
- Avoid self-medication: taking leftover antibiotics before tests can hide the cause of an infection and add to antibiotic resistance.
