Ian D. Robertson is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Murdoch, WA. His practice is located at 90 South Street, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia. Infectious diseases can be hard to deal with, especially when symptoms come and go or when test results take time. Ian helps people make sense of what’s going on and what to do next.
Ian looks after a wide range of infections. This includes common illnesses like flu, as well as ongoing or more serious infections such as pulmonary tuberculosis. At times, infections can spread through the air, food, water, or close contact, so the right advice matters for both the person’s health and their household.
He also works with infections that are less common in day-to-day life, including some that come from animals. That can include things like rabies, leptospirosis, brucellosis, and spotted fever. Over time, travel, work exposures, or contact with wildlife can play a part, and Ian’s focus is on using the history to guide care.
For people dealing with tummy bugs and gut infections, Ian helps with conditions such as Salmonella enterocolitis and Giardia infection. These can cause ongoing diarrhoea, dehydration risk, and feeling wiped out. In many cases, treatment isn’t only about antibiotics or medicines, but also about safe hydration, symptom control, and knowing when things need urgent attention.
Some patients also need help with viral and skin-related infections. This can include chickenpox and hepatitis A, where timing and prevention advice can make a real difference. There are also infections that can affect the reproductive system, including pelvic inflammatory disease, as well as infections linked to the urinary or pelvic area. Ian works through the likely causes and helps plan the next steps.
Infectious disease can also involve the liver, lungs, skin, and deeper body tissues. Ian treats cases that may include things like endometritis, breast infection, and mucormycosis. He also sees parasitic infections such as hydatidosis and echinococcosis, where the situation can be complex and follow-up is important.
Because infections can sometimes overlap, Ian aims to keep the process clear. He focuses on practical testing and treatment pathways, and he explains things in plain language. If a case involves something unusual, or if symptoms don’t improve as expected, he can help sort through the possibilities and keep care moving.
Ian’s work covers everything from everyday flu-type illness to infections that follow specific exposures. You can expect a calm, grounded approach, with attention to the details that help guide safer outcomes.
