How I fell in love with infectious diseases: I fell in love with infectious diseases for many reasons, but one of my favorite aspects is how well we get to know our patients and the very in-depth histories we are privileged to take. You never know when asking about recent contact with reptiles or a patient’s lifetime travel history can actually be relevant to the underlying diagnosis.
