A member asked:

Was wondering what are the differences between infectious disease and pathology specialist?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Differences: Infectious disease (ID) doctors specialize in the treatment of patients with infectious disease, particularly complex ones like HIV (managing antibiotics, antivirals, etc.). Pathologists encompass a wide variety of fields (including microbiologists who work with ID docs regularly), but focus on the diagnosis of disease (of all kinds) as opposed to the treatment and management.
