Siobhon L. Egan is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Perth, WA. You’ll find the practice at 5 Robin Warren Drive, Perth, WA 6150, Australia.
Infectious disease care is about more than just treating an infection. It’s also about figuring out what’s going on, why it’s happening, and what the best next step is. In many cases, symptoms can look a lot like other illnesses at first, so getting the details right matters.
Dr Egan looks after people with infections that can be tricky to manage or take time to clear. Her work includes conditions such as Giardia infection, which can cause ongoing gut symptoms like diarrhoea, cramps, bloating, and fatigue. At times, relapsing fever is also in her area, which can come with repeat episodes of fever and feeling very unwell.
People usually come for help when they’ve tried initial treatment, but things haven’t settled down the way they expected, or when they need a more careful plan. Infectious illnesses can change quickly. That means treatment choices may need adjusting as test results and symptoms come in.
Care often involves a mix of listening, checking the bigger picture, and using the right tests to guide decisions. Dr Egan focuses on practical steps that fit into daily life, including clear explanations about what to watch for and when to get urgent help. She also works out how long symptoms might last, and what follow-up may be needed so people can move forward.
Over time, good infectious disease care becomes a steady process, not a one-off visit. That could mean planning treatment, reviewing progress, and making sure there’s a safe way to prevent spread where relevant. With gut infections in particular, hygiene and exposure history can be important parts of the story.
Education and service experience details aren’t listed here, but the approach is grounded in up-to-date medical guidance. Clinical trials and research information aren’t provided in the available details, so the focus stays on standard, evidence-based treatment and sensible follow-up.
If you’re dealing with an infection that won’t go away, keeps coming back, or feels hard to explain, an infectious disease specialist can help untangle it. Dr Egan’s work in Perth supports people who need careful, calm, and clear medical care for infections like Giardia infection and relapsing fever.
