Martine Keenan is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Bentley, WA. You’ll find the practice at Suite 5, 3 Brodie Hall Drive, Technology Park, Bentley, WA 6102, Australia.
Her clinical focus is Chagas disease. This is an infection you can get from the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. In many cases, people don’t realise they have it straight away because symptoms can be mild or slow to show up. Over time, it can affect the heart and other parts of the body, so early checking matters.
Martine looks after patients who are dealing with suspected or confirmed Chagas disease. That can include people who have lived in areas where it’s more common, as well as people who have had tests come back showing signs of the infection. She also works with families and carers, because questions often come up about what to watch for next and how to plan follow-up care.
Infectious diseases can feel complicated, even when the basics are clear. Martine keeps things calm and practical. She helps people understand what the results mean, what symptoms could be related, and why follow-up might be needed. At times, care can also involve talking through other health issues that may sit alongside infection, so nothing gets missed.
Over the years, Martine has built her work around infectious disease care, with Chagas disease at the centre. Her aim is to support patients with the right checks and guidance, using current medical advice for this condition. She pays attention to how people are doing in real life, not just the lab numbers.
When it comes to education and learning, her work is grounded in infectious disease training and day-to-day clinical practice. She also keeps up with what’s happening in Chagas disease treatment and management, so her care stays aligned with best current guidance. If research is relevant for a patient’s situation, that’s something she can discuss as part of planning.
Clinical trials aren’t listed in this profile, but the broader goal stays the same: help patients make informed decisions about their care. If you need an Infectious Disease Specialist for Chagas disease in Bentley, Martine Keenan is set up to help.
