Martin Krsak, MD
Assistant Professor, Medicine-Infectious Disease

Dr. Krsak is board-certified in internal medicine, infectious diseases and addiction medicine and provides unique combined services to vulnerable populations. Fascinated by the COVID-19 pandemic on multiple levels, including epidemiology, testing, clinical management, and immune responses to SARS-CoV-2, he has already published six papers relevant to COVID-19. After providing a Grand Rounds on COVID-19 for a physician's forum in his hometown in Slovakia, he has been seeing COVID-19 inpatients and outpatients all spring and he joined the Infectious Diseases COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Committee to brainstorm with colleagues and provide clear advice in real time on the rapidly changing treatment options. Concurrently, he has been helping to recruit patients into clinical trials for novel COVID-19 treatment regimens. He realized that the psychological toll of COVID-19 begins with the illness itself, but extends to having a significant impact on society, and particularly the most vulnerable and socio-economically disadvantaged. He has worked with colleagues to facilitate testing in correctional facilities. He has explored how serology can best be combined with other available SARS-CoV-2 testing to mitigate economic and psychological impacts.
