I’m Dr Aniket Sanjay Bhamare, a resident doctor in DM Infectious Diseases. I write evidence-based explainers on fevers, antibiotics, vaccines and infections, written in plain language for patients and families.
What you’ll find here
I’m passionate about Infectious Diseases. Infections can affect anyone, at any age and in any organ, and working out what is causing an illness, then treating it well, is detective work I find endlessly fascinating.
I also love writing about it. Turning complex medical topics into clear, practical explanations is one of the most rewarding parts of my work, and The Germ Doc is where I share them.
Everything I write is grounded in evidence. Each article is based on current Indian and international guidelines and published research, and is updated as guidance changes, so you can trust what you read.
