He has extensive training in numerous infectious diseases including those caused by parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Dr. Koirala cares for patients with bone and joint infections, complicated and complex infections, heart valve infections, cancer, HIV/AIDS, Lyme disease, pneumonia and patients who are immunocompromised.

As an infectious disease physician, Dr. Koirala is committed to educating his patients about their health condition – helping patients understand the cause of the infection, its treatment, and the recovery process.

He served as Co-investigator on the Cdiffense trial working to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of a toxoid vaccine for the prevention of primary symptomatic Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI).

His findings were presented at Harvard Medical School Medical Education Day.
