Allison Imrie is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Perth, WA, working from 35 Stirling Highway, Perth, WA 6009, Australia.
Infectious diseases can be tricky. Symptoms may start mild, then change over days, and at times they can look similar to other illnesses. Dr Imrie focuses on helping people understand what might be going on and what the next steps should be, especially when an infection is caused by viruses.
Her work includes conditions linked to mosquito-borne viruses and other viral infections that can affect more than one part of the body. This can include dengue fever, chikungunya, zika virus disease, and viral illnesses in the arbovirosis group. She also looks after patients where infections can become more serious, such as viral haemorrhagic fever and other severe viral disease patterns.
At times, infectious viruses can also affect the brain and nervous system. That’s where illnesses like encephalitis and Japanese encephalitis may come into the picture. Dr Imrie also treats infections connected with Togaviridae-related illnesses and supports care when severe presentations show up and need quick, careful assessment.
Some cases involve respiratory illness as well. For example, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is one of the conditions associated with her infectious disease work. In many cases, patients may have travelled, been exposed through local outbreaks, or developed symptoms that don’t quite fit a simple “common cold” picture. That’s when specialist input can help guide decisions about testing and treatment options.
Because these illnesses can be rare in some areas, getting the details right matters. Dr Imrie’s approach is practical and grounded—looking at the story of symptoms, recent exposures, and the results of investigations. Over time, this helps shape a clear plan for what to do next, including follow-up if symptoms change or new concerns appear.
Infectious disease care also means staying alert to how things can shift. Even when people feel a bit better, some viral infections can take time to settle. Dr Imrie helps patients and families keep track of warning signs and manage recovery in a steady way.
