Our infectious disease specialists are among the most highly respected in the world. We developed what is now known as the Duke criteria to diagnose endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart. We are also involved in the full spectrum of research to better understand the risk factors associated with -- and develop treatments for -- fungal, bacterial, and viral infections.  Our goal is to provide you with a personalized treatment plan in a caring, compassionate setting, so you feel better as soon as you walk through our doors.

Why Choose Duke

Leaders in HIV Research and Treatment
Duke researchers played integral roles in the development of several key drugs used to treat HIV, including AZT (zidovudine) and T20 (enfuvirtide). We provide compassionate, caring treatment to people with HIV. We use the latest therapies available, connect you with a physician who will take care of you every step of your journey, and provide ongoing social work support in a comforting, nonjudgmental environment. 

Access to Clinical Trials
Our doctors are very active in research in all aspects of infectious diseases. As a result, you may be eligible to participate in clinical trials and gain access to new therapies before they become widely available.

Advanced Care for Respiratory Viruses Including Influenza
Our infectious disease and critical care specialists incorporate innovative approaches -- including novel uses of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) -- to care for patients who are very ill with influenza and its complications.

Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections (NTM) Expertise
We have nationally recognized expertise in treating these complicated infections and are listed in the NTM Info and Research Inc. (NTMir) directory of recommended providers.

Expertise in Preventing and Treating Infections Caused by Superbugs
Our doctors are skilled in existing and new strategies for fighting methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Clostridium difficile (“C diff”), carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), and other serious multi-drug-resistant organisms.

Recognized Leaders in Fungal Disease Research and Care
Our experts care for people with complicated fungal infections and perform basic research studies to learn more about these diseases, and how to treat them.
