More than 30 physicians at Mayo Clinic in Rochester specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric infectious diseases. The Division of Infectious Diseases offers the following specialized services:
- Hospital-Based Consultation -- offers specialized treatment for patients who are hospitalized with infections or who develop infections while hospitalized. We have a large inpatient practice, which at any given time has a census of 100 patients. Our entire faculty participates in clinical "focus groups" which provide specialized care to a subgroup of infectious disease patients that at the same time academically helps staff develop expertise in the focused areas of infectious diseases that they participate in. The inpatient infectious diseases "focus groups" include general infectious diseases group, intensive care unit infectious diseases group, two orthopedic infectious diseases groups, solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplantation infectious diseases group, neurosurgery infectious diseases, Hematology/Oncology infectious diseases.
- Outpatient Infectious Disease Consultation -- offers specialized evaluations for patients referred by their physicians for the evaluation and management of suspected or proven infections. You will have a one half-day per week clinic assignment to provide you with the ambulatory care experience in Infectious Diseases.
- The Mayo Clinic HIV Clinic -- provides specialized treatment for patients who have been exposed to, or diagnosed with, HIV or AIDS.
- Travel and Tropical Medicine Clinic -- educates and immunizes people traveling to foreign countries and treats patients returning from a foreign country with an illness.
