Our travel medicine doctors can help with this care and education. They will:
- Administer any necessary travel immunizations to help prevent illness
- Assess your medical needs based on your travel location
- Educate you about medications and travel healthcare

Sepsis treatment
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It can rapidly progress and cause tissue damage, organ failure and unfortunately, even death. This makes it very important to get sepsis diagnosed and begin treatment right away.
If you have sepsis, you are almost always treated in an emergency room (ER), and severe cases require a hospital stay. It is important that a hospital quickly identifies sepsis, and begins administering antibiotics.
When to see an infectious disease physician
If you have an infection, you may not necessarily need to see an infectious disease specialist. Your primary doctor will make the decision about whether or not you need to be referred to a specialist.
