Mark Von Itzstein is a pulmonologist based at 170 Kessels Road, Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia. He looks after people with breathing and lung related health issues, especially when illnesses can get serious. His work also touches on infections and situations that affect the lungs and the rest of the body.
Patients he may see include people with pneumonia, flu, diphtheria, strep throat, and other strep related infections. At times he also supports people dealing with sepsis, including when an infection has spread and becomes life threatening. Respiratory viruses like parainfluenza and Parainfluenza Virus Type 3 can also come up, along with conditions such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Because lung health can be linked to many other problems, Mark’s care can also include cases like lung metastases, and blood and cancer related conditions such as acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and Burkitt lymphoma. He may also be involved when people have other blood conditions, including hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). In many cases, the goal is to help manage symptoms, support recovery, and make sure breathing stays as steady as possible.
Mark’s practice is set up to handle the kinds of cases where lungs need careful attention. He works with other health professionals to coordinate care, particularly when infections, major illness, or complex symptoms are involved. Day to day, that can mean clear check-ins, practical treatment planning, and watching how things change over time.
