Magdalena Plebanski is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in the heart of Melbourne, at 124 La Trobe St, VIC 3000. She works with people who have infections and other health issues that can start, spread, or flare up when the immune system is under strain.
In many cases, her care is about getting to the cause and helping you feel steady again. That can include infections like flu, pneumonia, measles, and COVID-19. She also looks after people with longer-lasting symptoms, including “long haul” COVID, where recovery can take time and symptoms can change from week to week.
Some referrals involve specific infections such as malaria, tetanus, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, and cytomegalic inclusion disease. At times, she supports people with serious respiratory illnesses too, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). There are also situations linked to common bacteria and viruses, like streptococcal Group A infection, where prompt care really matters.
Infections don’t always travel alone. She also helps manage connected health concerns that can show up alongside illness, such as malnutrition, obesity, and asthma. Issues like necrosis and ascites may come up as part of a wider health picture, and she works to understand how everything fits together.
Her patient group can also include people facing complex medical problems where infection risk matters, including people with ovarian cancer and Wilms tumour. When the body is dealing with something bigger, infections can be harder to manage, and the plan needs to be practical and careful.
Experience details and formal education are not listed here, so those specifics aren’t shown on this profile. Clinical trial information is also not included, so there’s nothing extra stated about that.
What you can expect is a calm, clear approach to infectious disease care. The goal is usually the same: work out what’s going on, choose the right next steps, and support recovery in a way that feels manageable.
