Infectious Diseases

Infectious Diseases Hospital in Malad, Mumbai

An infection rarely affects only one person, and in a household it often affects everyone. CritiCare Asia Hospitals is an infectious diseases hospital in Malad, Mumbai, where our infectious disease physicians work to find which pathogen lies behind a patient's illness and then build the treatment around it. Infections were among the most common reasons for seeking care long before COVID-19 focused global attention on how bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites spread. The work becomes especially important when an infection resists standard antibiotics or is slow to respond to first-line treatment. For infectious disease treatment in Malad, our specialists keep the patient and the family informed at each step.

Conditions We Treat

The department manages a wide range of infections, from common community illnesses to complex, hard-to-treat cases.

• Tuberculosis, including drug-resistant TB
  diagnosis and long-term management of standard and resistant strains

• Tropical and travel-related infections
  malaria, dengue, typhoid, chikungunya, leptospirosis and rickettsial illness, plus rarer infections picked up abroad

• Fungal infections
  conditions such as mucormycosis, aspergillosis and other endemic fungal illnesses

• Hospital-acquired and drug-resistant infections
  care for multidrug-resistant pathogens and infections linked to hospital stays

  meningitis, pneumonia, infective endocarditis, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, urinary tract infections and more

• Device- and implant-associated infections
  infections tied to joint replacements, pacemakers, shunts and similar implants

  continuing monitoring and treatment for long-term infections that need sustained clinical attention

• Fevers of unknown origin
  investigation of prolonged or recurrent fevers when the cause is not obvious

Who We Support

Certain patients are at higher risk of complicated or unusual infections, and our specialists are trained to recognise and manage them.

• Immunocompromised patients
  people with chronic organ disease or uncontrolled diabetes, or on immunosuppressive medicines, can develop atypical or opportunistic infections that call for a different diagnostic approach

• Transplant and cancer patients
  treatment is adjusted where the immune system is already strained by the underlying condition or its treatment

• Pregnant women
  infections during pregnancy are managed with attention to the mother's health and the baby's wellbeing

• Returning travellers
  unexplained fevers or rare infections acquired abroad are assessed by specialists familiar with tropical and global disease patterns

• Adults seeking immunisation
  vaccination is often forgotten once childhood schedules end, yet it remains important for chronic conditions, travel and protection against preventable illness

Meet Our Specialists

Our infectious disease physicians, microbiologists and infection control specialists operate as one team, so an infection is never treated apart from the rest of a patient's health. Each case starts with careful diagnostic work, not a fixed protocol, using detailed history-taking, precise laboratory interpretation and close coordination with the patient's other doctors. An infectious disease specialist in Malad is happy to explain results and precautions to relatives as well.
