Kate Maddaford is an Infectious Disease Specialist based at 580 Swanston Street, Carlton, VIC 3053, Australia. She looks after people who need help with infections that can affect the body in different ways, including sexually transmitted infections and other gut or tissue infections. If you’ve been dealing with symptoms that keep coming back, or you’re unsure what’s going on, Kate’s work focuses on sorting out the cause and making a clear plan.
In many cases, her patients have conditions like gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and syphilis. She also supports people living with HIV/AIDS, where regular care and safe management are a big part of day-to-day health. Other infections she deals with include proctitis and shigellosis, which can cause gut and bowel symptoms, and perichondritis, an infection that can affect the cartilage, often around the ear area.
Kate’s care is practical and grounded. Infectious diseases can be stressful, especially when there’s a risk of passing something on to others. So the conversations usually include what the infection is, how it’s spread, what treatment options may look like, and what steps to take next. At times, that also means helping people understand test results and what follow-up might be needed.
