Prevention, Diagnosis & Treatment

We diagnose, treat, and help prevent the spread of illnesses caused by viruses, bacteria and other pathogens.

The Division of Infectious Diseases at Michigan Medicine was founded in 1967. Since that time, our division has grown to over 40 faculty members and has become nationally recognized for an exemplary record of patient care, research, and education and training.

We diagnose and treat patients for a multitude of infections including chronic bone and joint infections, soft tissue infections, endocarditis, opportunistic infections, complicated urinary tract infections, fungal infections, Clostridium difficile infection and many others. In response to emerging and growing needs over the years, we have established several programs and clinics including the Fecal Microbiota Transplant Program, HIV/AIDS Treatment Program, Overseas Travel Clinic and Transplant Infectious Disease Service.
