Infectious disease medicine is a branch of internal medicine. Infectious disease doctors specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases caused by microorganisms. These microscopic organisms enter the body and infect it, causing symptoms that can range from mild to fatal. Infectious disease specialists usually work with other medical specialists to diagnose and treat the affected organ systems, such as the central nervous system or cardiovascular system.

The American Medical Association states that infectious diseases are the second largest cause of death around the globe. The four main kinds of germs that lead to diseases are:

  • Viruses - Viruses can affect, damage or kill cells and induce sickness. The common cold, hepatitis and HIV are three examples of viruses.
  • Bacteria - Bacteria are single-celled organisms that cause illnesses such as tuberculosis or urinary tract infections.
  • Parasites - Illnesses such as malaria are caused by a parasite that is transmitted through a mosquito bite. In this case, the mosquito carries a parasite.
  • Fungi - Fungi causes infections like ringworm.
