After struggling with the issues, I have I returned to UCSF and was referred to Dr Schwartz who IMMEDIATELY KNEW what was going on either my lungs and potential bacterial infection. It has taken 19 months to finally get a clear diagnosis. Thank you Dr. Schwartz and his team!!

Biography

Dr Brian Schwartz specializes in treating infectious diseases. He has particular expertise in infections that develop in patients with suppressed immune systems, such as organ and stem cell transplant recipients. He serves as a director of UCSF's infectious diseases clinics. Schwartz's research focuses on Staphylococcus aureus infections (commonly called staph infections), particularly the interaction between colonization and recurrent infection and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance. Other interests include latent tuberculosis infection and Chagas disease in patients with suppressed immune systems, as well as tropical medicine (the study of conditions found in tropical climates).
