Conditions We Treat
These conditions are often rare and complicated. They may include:
Benefits of Vaccines
Of course, it’s best to prevent disease in the first place. Vaccines are key to preventing disease for several reasons:
- Vaccines benefit both the people who get them and the vulnerable, unvaccinated people around them.
- With so-called herd immunity, the infection can no longer spread through the community if most people are immunized.
- 疫苗可以减少麻疹、百日咳和水痘等传染病造成的死亡和残疾人数。
Children get most of the vaccinations. But adults also need to be sure they are already immune to certain infections and stay up-to-date on certain vaccines, including varicella, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), shingles and the flu. Childhood illnesses, such as mumps, measles and chickenpox, can cause serious problems in adults.
Traveling and Infectious Diseases
Traveling abroad can put you at risk for infectious diseases that are not widespread in the U.S.
Travelers who become ill in a country where treatment for these diseases may be somewhat limited are even more at risk. All people planning travel should get informed about the potential hazards of the countries they are traveling to.
Learn how to reduce your risk of getting these diseases.
Join a Clinical Trial
Clinical trials and studies can give you access to innovative treatments. The benefits extend past you, though. These trials can help researchers improve patient care and find cures for future generations. Search all clinical trials to find a trial open for enrollment and relevant to you.
