Infectious Disease Care at WCE Specialty
If you’re facing an infection—whether acute, chronic, or recurring—expert care is essential to prevent serious complications and support a full recovery. At WCE Specialty, our dedicated team of infectious disease specialists and wound care experts provide advanced care to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of infections.
What Does an Infectious Disease Doctor Do?
Infectious disease (ID) doctors specialize in identifying and treating infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
- An infection is difficult to diagnose
- A wound or illness isn’t responding to standard treatments
- Specialized testing or long-term treatment is needed
- You have a condition that affects the immune system, like diabetes, HIV, or transplant status
Our team provides targeted treatments and works closely with your primary care provider or surgeon to ensure coordinated, comprehensive care.
When Should You See an Infectious Disease Specialist?
You should consider making an appointment with an ID specialist if you have:
- A wound that shows signs of infection (redness, swelling, heat, drainage, or worsening pain)
- A fever without a clear cause
- An infection that keeps coming back
- A history of drug-resistant infections like MRSA
- A weakened immune system due to chronic illness, medications, or organ transplant
- A need for long-term IV antibiotics
- Concerns about travel-related illnesses or unexplained fatigue
Prompt evaluation and treatment can make a major difference in recovery and long-term health outcomes.
