Infection Management
At Vital Medical Associates P.C., we offer Infection Management services to diagnose and treat bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Our goal is to address infections early to prevent complications and support a smooth recovery.

Untreated infections can spread and lead to serious health risks like sepsis. Infections account for approximately 270,000 deaths annually in the U.S. (CDC). Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent complications.
What to Expect:
During your visit, our team will perform necessary tests to identify the type of infection and provide targeted treatment. We’ll discuss symptoms, provide education on preventing future infections, and develop a plan for a fast and effective recovery.
Services Include:
- Diagnostic testing for bacterial, viral, and fungal infections
- Targeted antibiotic or antiviral treatments
- Education on infection prevention and hygiene practices
- Monitoring for recurring infections
Post-Visit Care:
After your infection management visit, our team will:
- Explain Medication Instructions: Provide clear instructions on antibiotics or antivirals prescribed for treatment.
- Monitor for Recurrence: Arrange follow-up visits if needed to ensure the infection has fully cleared.
- Offer Preventive Education: Share tips on hygiene and lifestyle practices to prevent future infections.
