Alice Michie is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Perth, WA. Her clinic is at 35 Stirling Highway, Perth, WA 6009, Australia.
Infectious diseases can be tricky, especially when symptoms overlap with other illnesses. Alice focuses on helping people who may have viral infections, including infections spread by mosquitoes and other biting insects. Over time, outbreaks of mosquito-borne viruses can affect different parts of Australia and the wider region, so having clear medical support matters.
Her work covers a range of conditions linked to viruses such as togaviridae-related illnesses and other arboviruses. In many cases, that includes things like Chikungunya and Dengue Fever. She also looks after people who may be dealing with viral haemorrhagic fever concerns, which is taken seriously because of how quickly things can change.
Sometimes patients come in after recent travel. Other times, they notice symptoms during warmer months or during local reports of insect-borne illness. Common problems people may seek help for include fever, body aches, feeling wiped out, rash, and ongoing fatigue. At times, symptoms can come on in a way that feels like “just a virus”, but the cause still needs proper checking.
Alice’s role is about getting the right diagnosis and then working out the safest next steps. That can include reviewing symptoms, looking at recent exposures, and using the available tests to sort out what’s most likely. For mosquito-borne illnesses, the timing of when symptoms started can be important too, so she pays attention to details like that.
Because infectious disease care often involves more than one piece of the puzzle, Alice works alongside other healthcare professionals when needed. That might mean coordinating with treating doctors, especially if a person needs extra monitoring or more urgent care. The aim is to keep things calm, clear, and practical, while the medical team figures out the safest plan.
When people are dealing with infections like arbovirosis, it can be stressful, especially if there’s uncertainty about what caused it. Alice helps patients understand what the working diagnosis is, what to watch for, and when to get help urgently. The focus stays on day-to-day support as well as proper infection management, so people can get the right care early.
Her clinic supports patients in Perth and across WA who need help with viral infections, including Chikungunya, Dengue Fever, and other arbovirus-related conditions.
