Academic Interests:
Infectious diseases issues related to solid organ transplantation; management of antimicrobial agents to reduce resistant nosocomial pathogens and hospital acquired infections; urinary tract infections especially in renal transplant recipients; and, teaching medical students and residents on clinical rotations, Third Year Medical Clerkship Portfolio staff, pathology clinical project mentor, and microbiology CMC teaching staff.
Clinical Interests:
Infection is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the first year after transplantation. On the Infectious Diseases Solid Organ Transplant (SOT) Service there is a dynamic interaction between the transplant surgical teams, the medical subspecialty transplant services, and the infectious diseases consultants caring for patients with kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplants. At UF Shands several hundred solid organ transplants are performed each year and a broad range of fascinating infections and clinical problems are encountered on the ID SOT service. These patients are followed both inpatient and outpatient by ID SOT.
