I am a physician with special expertise in the management of infections in patients with weakened immune systems. Patients undergoing chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation are more vulnerable to infection than healthy individuals. These patients may develop infections that present with unusual severity. I monitor regularly all infections that develop in Memorial Hospital’s Bone Marrow Transplant Unit to detect unusual trends and to assist in improving the outcome of infections. Even among our highly immunocompromised patients, there is significant variability in their susceptibility to infection.
