Naomi J. Runnegar is an Infectious Disease Specialist based at 199 Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba, QLD 4102. She looks after people with serious and sometimes fast-moving infections, where getting the right treatment quickly really matters.
Her work covers a range of conditions, including sepsis, endocarditis, and MRSA. She also helps manage infections that can happen in hospital settings, like secondary peritonitis and peritonitis. Urinary tract infections are part of her care too, especially when symptoms are lingering or not behaving as expected.
In many cases, these conditions can bring more than just fever or pain. People can feel very unwell, tired, confused, or weak. Some infections can also affect the heart valves or spread through the body. At times, the situation can be complicated by other health issues, so careful review and steady follow-up are a big part of what she does.
Another area she commonly deals with is febrile neutropenia, which can show up in people whose immune system is lowered. She also looks after issues like agranulocytosis, where the body has a very low number of white blood cells. In these cases, the goal is to balance treatment needs while also watching closely for changes.
Naomi’s focus is on practical, evidence-based care for infection. This can include working through test results, thinking about where an infection might be coming from, and choosing a plan that fits the patient’s situation. Over time, she helps teams and patients make sense of what’s going on and what the next step should be.
She practices in Woolloongabba and works with local services to support people during what can be stressful and uncertain times. If an infection is complex, she helps bring the different pieces together so treatment is clear and coordinated.
