Tuberculosis (TB)

Bacterial infection primarily affecting lungs but can affect any organ. India has the highest TB burden globally — 28 lakh cases annually.

HIV/AIDS

Chronic viral infection attacking the immune system. India has 24 lakh people living with HIV. Antiretroviral therapy enables normal lifespan.

Dengue (Complicated)

Mosquito-borne viral infection. Most cases are mild, but complicated dengue with plasma leakage needs specialist management.

Malaria (Severe)

Parasitic infection from mosquito bites. P. falciparum malaria can be fatal if not treated promptly. Endemic in many parts of India.

Hospital-Acquired Infections

Infections acquired during hospitalisation — often caused by drug-resistant organisms (MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas).

Before Your Visit

Bring all investigation reports — blood cultures, sensitivity reports, imaging, previous antibiotic prescriptions
List all antibiotics you have taken recently — type, dose, and duration
Note your travel history — recent travel to malaria/dengue endemic areas
If HIV-related: bring CD4 count, viral load reports, and current ART regimen details

During the Appointment

Describe the timeline of symptoms precisely — when fever started, pattern, associated symptoms
Mention any known exposures — sick contacts, animal bites, insect bites, hospitalisation
Discuss any previous TB treatment — incomplete treatment causes drug resistance
Be open about risk factors — travel, sexual history, IV drug use — confidentiality is maintained

After the Visit

Complete the FULL course of antibiotics — stopping early is the most common cause of drug resistance
Take TB or HIV medications at the same time daily — consistency improves effectiveness
Follow up with recommended tests to confirm cure or treatment response
Ensure household contacts are screened if you have TB — free screening is available at government centres

An Infectious Disease specialist diagnoses and treats complex infections — HIV, tuberculosis, tropical diseases, and hospital-acquired infections.

India has high rates of TB, malaria, dengue, and HIV. Infectious disease specialists are crucial for managing resistant and complex infections.
