Katherine L. Anders is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Melbourne, working from 553 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia. Her day-to-day work is about spotting and treating infections that can move quickly through the body, and also making sense of what’s going on when symptoms don’t fit neatly into one box.
Her clinical focus includes dengue fever, viral haemorrhagic fevers, arbovirosis, and conditions linked to mosquito-borne viruses such as chikungunya and Zika virus disease. She also looks after people with diarrhoea and infections like Salmonella enterocolitis, plus illness related to Togaviridae disease.
In many cases, patients come in because they have a mix of symptoms like fever, feeling wiped out, body aches, rash, or ongoing stomach trouble. At times it can be hard to tell early on what’s causing the illness, especially if someone has travelled, had recent bites, or been exposed during an outbreak. Katherine’s role is to help narrow it down, guide the right tests, and support safe treatment while the diagnosis is being worked out.
Infectious disease care isn’t only about getting a label. It’s also about practical steps to help people get through the illness safely. That can mean thinking about dehydration with diarrhoea, managing fever and discomfort, and looking at what else might be going on alongside the infection. It also includes giving clear advice on what symptoms should trigger urgent review, because some infections can change over time.
Over time, these conditions often affect people differently. Some recover with supportive care, while others need closer monitoring. Katherine’s approach stays grounded and step-by-step, focusing on what the body is telling us right now, and what might need attention next.

If you’re in Melbourne and you’re dealing with an infection that’s hard to pin down, or you’ve been worried about dengue, Zika, chikungunya, diarrhoea-related illness, or viral fevers more broadly, Katherine L. Anders can help with specialist infectious disease assessment and care.
