This Service evaluates and treats patients with a wide variety of infections including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), malaria, tuberculosis, lyme disease and osteomyelitis.
We also provide primary care for both active duty and DoD beneficiaries infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
The Service also provides pre-travel (including vaccinations and malaria-prevention medication) and post-travel evaluations.
Major Walter Reed, M.D., (September 13, 1851 � November 22, 1902) was a U.S. Army physician who in 1901 led the team that postulated and confirmed the theory that yellow fever is transmitted by a particular mosquito species, rather than by direct contact.
