An infectious disease can be caused by many pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. The transmission of these pathogens can occur in a variety of ways: direct or indirect contact with a person or animal with the infection, food or water contamination, or insect bites. These diseases are very common.
How can TKI help me treat an infectious disease?

They can use their expertise to diagnose, manage, and treat a wide range of infectious conditions, from common illnesses like the flu to more complex diseases.
By offering comprehensive care, utilizing the latest in diagnostic tools and treatment options, and guiding patients through the often-challenging course of the disease, TKI is at the forefront of safeguarding public health and helping individuals recover from these diseases.
What are the commonly associated symptoms?
Infectious diseases each have their own associated symptoms. General symptoms can include:
- Fever
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches
- Coughing
How can infectious diseases be diagnosed?
Diagnosis of infectious diseases can be done through a variety of laboratory tests. Samples of blood, sputum, urine, stool, tissue, or mucus may be taken when you come into TKI for your appointment.
Why is it important to seek medical care early on?
Earlier diagnosis can improve the effectiveness of treatments and long-term complications. Undiagnosed patients can unknowingly pass the disease to others, so diagnosis can prevent an outbreak.
