Alexandra J. Hendry is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She looks after people who are dealing with infections and the bigger health problems that can come with them. In many cases, that means helping work out what’s going on when symptoms are unclear, or when an illness needs a careful plan to get better.
Her clinical work includes common viral and respiratory infections like flu, chickenpox, measles, mumps, rubella, and COVID-19. She also helps with other infectious conditions such as hepatitis and hepatitis B, and illnesses like pertussis and tetanus. At times, patients also come in with concerns linked to travel or outbreaks, or they need guidance on what to do next while they recover.
Because infections can affect different parts of the body, her approach is practical and focused on the whole situation. That can include supporting people with ongoing or more complex illnesses, and working out the safest next steps for treatment. She understands that being sick can be stressful for families, and she tries to keep things clear and steady while plans are put in place.
While her core work is infectious diseases, her service list also shows she supports people across a wider range of health needs. This includes attention and behaviour concerns such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorder, as well as mental health support like postpartum depression. Some patients also seek help for issues that involve the nervous system or long recovery times, for example myelitis, and rare complications that may show up after infections.
In everyday practice, that means taking time to listen, spotting key patterns, and coordinating care so patients know what to expect. Alexandra’s work is grounded in patient comfort, safety, and clear communication. If you’re in Sydney and you’re looking for help with an infection, a complicated recovery, or a health issue that links back to a past illness, she can be part of your care team.
