In a time of ever-increasing use of technology in healthcare, infectious diseases requires more than
diagnostic testing and procedures. The practice of Infectious Diseases requires detailed discussions
with patients and time spent understanding the course of their disease processes.

infections in travelers and hospital-acquired infections. She sees patients in the ambulatory care
and inpatient settings.
Research/Academic Interests
In addition to her clinical role, Dr. Maniar is head of Infection Control at VA Northern California
Healthcare System. She participates in antimicrobial stewardship program to encourage the
appropriate use of antibacterials.
