Patricia Price is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Perth, WA. You’ll find her at Level 2, Rear 50 Murray Street, Perth, WA 6000. This is the kind of clinic setting where people can talk things through calmly, especially when an infection has become more than just a passing illness.
Infectious diseases can be tricky. They don’t always sit in one body part, and symptoms can overlap with other conditions. Patricia works with patients who may have infections like HIV/AIDS and hepatitis, including hepatitis C. She also looks after people who have ongoing or returning issues such as pneumonia, thrush, and infections that affect joints.
Over time, the causes behind infections can change. That’s why the focus is often on getting the right diagnosis and then choosing a plan that makes sense for the person, not just the test result. In many cases, patients are dealing with health problems that make infections harder to manage, like chronic lung conditions (including COPD), or situations where the immune system needs extra care.
Patricia also has experience supporting patients who have had a kidney transplant. These cases can involve cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections and related complications such as CMV retinitis and cytomegalic inclusion disease. At times, CMV can cause symptoms that need careful review so treatment decisions are clear and timely.
Some people come in with more complex infections too. This can include infectious arthritis and septic arthritis, plus infections linked with mycobacterium, such as Mycobacterium Avium Complex infections. There are also cases where infections and long-lasting nerve pain can show up together, including neuralgia.
Managing infection isn’t only about clearing germs. It’s also about watching for complications, keeping people steady, and making sure follow-up is well organised. Patricia Price helps patients understand what’s going on and what the next steps look like, using a straightforward, practical approach.
If you’re looking for help with infections, or you’ve been told your case is more complicated than usual, Patricia can be a good option. Her work covers a wide range of infectious conditions and their effects on everyday health.
