Infectious Disease Care
At Sunshine Specialty Health Care,
our Infectious Disease team, led by Dr. Jose A. Giron, provides compassionate, expert care for patients with all types of infections — from common illnesses to complex and long-lasting conditions.
We specialize in identifying the source of infection, providing targeted treatments, and preventing future complications. Whether the cause is bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic, our goal is to help you recover fully and restore your health.
Common Infections We Treat
Blood-Borne Diseases
Infections that spread through infected blood, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. These can be passed through shared needles, transfusions, or sexual contact.
Communicable Diseases
Infections that spread from person to person through air, touch, or contaminated surfaces — such as colds, flu, and COVID-19.
Epidemics
When infections spread rapidly through a community, our team helps identify, manage, and control outbreaks to protect public health.
Fungal Infections
Caused by fungi that can affect the skin, nails, lungs, or other organs — such as yeast infections or aspergillosis.
Syphilis and Other STDs
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, and HPV. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent long-term complications.
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)
HIV weakens the immune system, making it harder to fight infections. With today’s treatments, patients can live long, healthy lives.
Lyme Disease
A tick-borne bacterial infection that causes fever, rash, and joint pain. Early treatment leads to full recovery.
Hepatitis (A, B, C)
Viral infections that affect the liver, often causing fatigue and yellowing of the skin (jaundice). Timely treatment helps prevent liver damage.
Viral Infections
Including the common cold, flu, shingles, RSV, and more. We provide advanced care for both mild and severe viral illnesses.
COVID-19
A viral infection that affects the lungs and airways. We offer testing, evaluation, and ongoing management for patients recovering from COVID-19.
Worm and Parasitic Infections
Caused by worms that live in the intestines or tissues. Symptoms include stomach discomfort or weight loss — easily treated with medication
Endocarditis
A serious heart infection affecting the inner lining or valves, often requiring hospital care and antibiotics.
Osteomyelitis (Bone Infection)
A painful bone infection that may develop after injury or surgery. Requires antibiotics and sometimes minor procedures
Septic Arthritis
A joint infection causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Quick diagnosis and treatment can prevent joint damage.
Tuberculosis (TB)
A bacterial lung infection that spreads through the air. TB can be cured with the right medications and consistent follow-up.
Complicated Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Infections of the bladder or kidneys that require stronger antibiotics or special evaluation.
Malaria
A mosquito-borne infection causing fever, chills, and fatigue. Preventable and treatable with proper care.
Meningitis
A serious infection around the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include severe headache, fever, and stiff neck. Requires urgent medical care.
Fever of Unknown Origin (FUO)
Sometimes, a fever lasts for weeks without an obvious cause. Our specialists use detailed testing to uncover hidden infections or other underlying conditions.
Protozoal Infections
Caused by tiny parasites from contaminated food or water, often leading to stomach upset or fever. Treatable with specific medications.
