Dr. Hani Khair is a Denton, TX physician who specializes in adult infectious disease. He attended the University of Khartoum Faculty of Medicine.

"I was referred to this doctor by my PCP because I was having chronic fatigue. I had to sit in the office for about an hour, just to be told that they forgot to request my information from my PCP. So they said they would call me once the received that information and would call in a perscription or call me back in, if necessary. I paid a $50 copay in office for this, and almost four months later, was sent a bill for $219. Again, for nothing, because they never called me back. This is why I have a trust issue with the US healthcare system and almost never see a doctor when I need one. This was an entire waste of a day as well as hundreds of dollars. Beware of this doctor.

What is Infectious Disease?

Infectious disease is a specialty that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of infections, including bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections. Infectious disease specialists are trained in the studies of immunology, or how the body fights off infections, as well as epidemiology, or how diseases spread.

Some infectious disease doctors further specialize within the field of infectious disease. For instance, pediatric infectious disease specialists treat children and teens with serious infections. Others focus specifically on patients who have HIV or AIDS, as these conditions commonly cause patients to contract unusual and severe infections.

Most common infections can be treated by a general physician without problems. A referral to an infectious disease specialist might be made in cases such as:

An infection that is difficult to diagnose
An extremely high fever
An infection that is not responding to treatment
A patient traveling to a foreign country where the risk for infection is high
A patient with a chronic illness or infection that requires frequent treatment, such as HIV

Infectious disease specialists often use lab work to diagnose infections. They may culture a wound or look for the presence of antibodies in the blood. Treatment may include vaccinations, antifungals, or antibiotics. Infectious disease specialists are skilled at prescribing appropriate antibiotics for specific infections and knowing when the benefits outweigh the risks of side effects for using them.
