Kersten K. Koelsch is an Infectious Disease Specialist based at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Darlinghurst, NSW, Australia.
Infectious diseases can be tricky. In many cases, symptoms look similar to other illnesses, so getting the details right matters. Kersten’s work focuses on helping people with infections, especially where the cause needs careful checking and ongoing support.
Kersten also looks after patients affected by HIV/AIDS. This can involve managing long-term health, watching for infections that can pop up more easily, and making sure treatment stays on track. Over time, care can include more than just medicines. It can also mean regular follow-ups, clear plans, and practical guidance that fits how a person lives day to day.
Another important part of the work is bone marrow transplant care. After a transplant, the body’s immune system can be more fragile. At times, this means infections may need quick attention, and decisions about treatment can’t be delayed. Kersten works with the wider hospital team to help manage these risks and support safer recovery.
