Marianne Martinello is an Infectious Disease Specialist based on North Terrace in Adelaide, South Australia. She works with people who are dealing with infections that can feel scary and confusing, especially when symptoms keep coming back or don’t settle as expected.
Her clinic work includes conditions such as hepatitis C and hepatitis B, and also HIV/AIDS. She also looks after patients with infections like cellulitis, and she helps assess and manage illnesses such as COVID-19 when they need extra careful input. In some cases, she supports people with more specific infections and related health issues, including HTLV-1 associated myelopathy and even liver cancer where infection and liver health are closely linked.
At times, infectious diseases can overlap with other problems. That’s why the focus is usually on getting the basics right first—understanding what’s going on, checking risk factors, and making sure the treatment plan fits the person, not just the diagnosis. Many patients come in because they’ve already had tests, or they’ve been through a rough patch and want clear next steps.
In many cases, care may involve reviewing past results, planning follow-up, and making sure medicines are working the way they should. For people with hepatitis and HIV, long-term management matters. For infections that affect the skin or the lungs, it’s often about acting early and watching closely so complications don’t slip in unnoticed.
Marianne’s experience covers a wide range of infectious disease presentations, including liver-related infections, viral illnesses, and conditions that can affect the whole body. The profile also notes experience with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which shows she’s worked within complex infectious disease areas.
Education details and work history aren’t listed in this profile, so there isn’t much background information shown here. Research and clinical trials information is also not included. Even so, the day-to-day focus is clear: helping patients make sense of their infection and supporting safe, practical treatment decisions.
