Scarlet fever

Scarlet fever is an infection caused by toxin producing strains of Streptococcus pyogenes (also known as group A streptococcus, or GAS). It was associated with high levels of deaths and complications when epidemics were common in the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and the USA. 

Scarlet fever or ‘scarlatina’ is the name given to a disease caused by an infective Group A Streptococcal (GAS) bacteria. For many years, scarlet fever was very rare. But, once of a sudden, there has been a recent increase in the number of cases worldwide.

During the next 3 years she stayed as Junior Investigator conducting multiple studies at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Since medical school she was curious of how brain can influence the body and affect health. Her cutting-edge research provided the first true evidence that brain hormone serotonin has powerful influence over allergy cells (mast cells). During the 3 years as Clinical Investigator she was also consulting patients with rare genetic disorders and became an expert in diagnosis and management of Mastocytosis. Dr Kushnir published 10 papers in the major clinical and scientific journals, wrote a chapter in medical textbook, presented at more than 20 national and international conferences.
She is invited speaker at the major specialty conferences. She is dedicated community educator – she gives free lectures at the local hospitals and schools. Most recent web publication in WebMD describes Rhinitis induced by medicines.

Her deepest passion is the patient care. Her main goal is to implement all her unique knowledge of science, as well as combination of European and American medicine into state-of-art diagnosis and treatment. She was practicing Allergy and Immunology for 2 years with the large Allergy and Asthma Group of the Bay Area in transition to her solo practice. She is a proud Patient’s choice award of 2008-2010 recipient.
