A partial list of the infections we diagnose and treat include: We are fortunate to have Dr. David Soper, one of the most recognized experts in obstetrical and gynecological infectious diseases in the United States as well as internationally, here at MUSC Women’s Health. Dr. Soper’s research involves infections in women. He is one of a handful of physicians in this country with postgraduate training in both obstetrics and gynecology and infectious diseases. He is a consultant to the Centers for Disease Control for updating the Sexually Transmitted Disease Treatment Guidelines. Dr. Soper has authored over 100 scientific publications related to infectious diseases in obstetrics and gynecology. His textbook is well respected in this country and now is available in Spanish.
We are also pleased to welcome our first Reproductive Infectious Disease Fellow, Dr. Gweneth Lazenby. Dr. Lazenby recently completed her residency at the University of Hawaii.
