Brian P. Mcsharry is an Infectious Disease Specialist based in Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia. He works with people who have infections that can be tricky, last a long time, or need careful treatment and follow-up.
Infectious diseases can show up in lots of ways. At times, it’s as simple as a sore that won’t settle. Other times, it’s a virus that keeps coming back, or a flare that comes with pain and tiredness. Brian looks at the whole picture, including symptoms, past history, and how your illness is tracking.
Common reasons people seek help include viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), oral herpes, shingles, and chickenpox. These can affect different parts of the body, and the right plan depends on what’s happening and how you’re coping day to day. With herpes and shingles, for example, pain can be a big part of the story, and treatment needs to start at the right time for it to work best in many cases.
CMV can be more serious for some people, especially if the immune system is under strain. Brian also helps with situations linked to cytomegalic inclusion disease. This is one of those conditions where the details matter, and care usually needs to be well coordinated from start to finish.
At times, infectious disease care also covers outbreaks or more severe respiratory illness. For example, his service includes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). That kind of illness requires a calm, structured approach, careful monitoring, and support for what’s happening in the body.
Because infections can change quickly, Brian focuses on practical next steps. That might mean confirming what the illness is, making sure the treatment matches the cause, and checking in if symptoms don’t improve as expected. Over time, this helps people feel more confident about the plan and what to watch for at home.
Brian works in Wagga Wagga, and his clinic is set up for local care. If you’ve had ongoing symptoms, repeated viral episodes, or an infection that’s not following the usual path, getting the right infectious disease advice can make a big difference.
For specific appointments, referrals, and how care can work alongside your usual GP, it’s best to contact the practice directly. Details around education, research work, and clinical trials aren’t listed here, but the focus stays on clear, solid infectious disease support for patients in regional NSW.
