| | Infectious disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | With most new infectious diseases, some human action is involved, changing the environment so that an existing microbe can take up residence in a new ecological niche. | | | For example, an "uncomplicated" pneumonia will generally be treated by the internist or the pulmonologist (lung physician). | | | Robert Koch, mentioned above, gave the study of infectious diseases a scientific basis by formulating Koch's postulates. |
