Fellow Publications

Our fellows publish and present original research on diverse topics encompassing the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and microbial causes of infectious diseases.

We have trained physicians in infectious disease for more than 40 years. View our fellow's peer-reviewed publications, abstracts and book chapters over the past ten years below:
