Susana V. Nery is an infectious disease specialist based in Acton, ACT, at 62 Mills Rd, Acton, ACT 2601, Australia.
Infectious diseases can be tricky. Sometimes they start with something simple, like a bad skin rash or tummy upset. Other times, they come on more quietly and only show up after travel or after a long period of symptoms. Susana looks at the full picture and focuses on helping people get clear, safe care.
Susana works with people who have a range of infections, including parasitic infections and infections that affect the skin and gut. This can include conditions like intestinal parasites, worm-related problems, and infections linked to things like unsafe water or travel exposure. Over time, these infections can affect nutrition and energy, so treatment often also includes support for eating and recovery.
Skin infections are also part of the work. At times, this can mean scabies, impetigo, or other itchy and uncomfortable skin issues. For many people, the hardest bit is not just the symptoms, but the worry and the impact on family life. Susana helps work through what to do at home, what to treat, and what to watch for as things settle.
There are also infections that can affect the body in deeper ways. For example, some parasitic conditions can lead to swelling and long-term changes, including lymphatic filariasis and lymphedema. These are often slow to improve, and care needs to be steady. In many cases, Susana helps patients understand the treatment plan and what results can realistically look like.
Depending on the situation, Susana also treats infectious problems like malaria and other conditions that can happen after travel. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so the focus stays on matching the right tests and treatment to the person in front of her.
Urinary tract infections are another important area. Susana works with adults and also treats urinary tract infections in children, where getting it right early can really help. Symptoms like burning, frequent trips to the toilet, fever, or discomfort should be taken seriously, especially in kids.
Susana’s aim is simple: to provide clear, practical infectious disease care, with a plan that fits day-to-day life. If you’re dealing with an infection that won’t settle, or you’re unsure what’s going on, a review can help bring things into focus.
