Martina Jelocnik is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Sippy Downs, Queensland. Her practice is located at 90 Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs QLD 4556.
Infectious diseases can be confusing, especially when symptoms seem mild at first and then change. Martina looks after people with infections that may need careful assessment and the right treatment plan. This can include stubborn or recurring infections, or cases where the cause is not clear straight away.
Her work covers a range of conditions, such as chlamydia and other infections that affect the eyes and airways. She also treats things like psittacosis, atypical pneumonia, and conjunctivitis (often called pink eye). At times, infections can spread deeper into the body, and that’s where specialist care can make a big difference. For example, she helps manage infectious arthritis and septic arthritis, as well as problems linked to interstitial keratitis and trachoma.
Skin infections are also part of the picture. Martina works with people who may have scabies and other infections where close contact within households or communities can play a role. She may also assess less common issues such as pica in the context of infection risk and overall health, depending on the presentation.
When you see an infectious disease specialist, it’s usually because there’s a need to look past the first guess. That might mean checking the history, thinking about how the infection could have been caught, and organising the right tests. In many cases, treatment is more than just taking medication. It can also include support around what to watch for, how to reduce spread to others, and what follow-up should look like.
If you or someone you care for has symptoms like persistent redness in the eye, ongoing cough, painful swollen joints, or ongoing skin itching and rash, it can be worth getting help early. Martina’s goal is to take the worry out of the next steps and give clear guidance for the best way forward.
Martina Jelocnik works with patients who want practical, step-by-step care for infections that need a steady hand and good follow-up.
