Infectious disease specialists work closely with other specialties, which may include general physicians and surgeons, and plan the course of treatment accordingly. Some of the diseases an infectious disease specialist treats include tuberculosis, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and hepatitis. Patients with complex blood reports and culture reports are often referred to infectious disease specialists.
