Dr. Yadav's current research interests involve common infectious diseases that are treated in the Emergency Department. His current focus is on improving the care of patients with skin and soft tissue infections (i.e. cellulitis) with a goal toward achieving a meaningful reduction in: (a) unnecessary IV antibiotic use; (b) hospitalization; and (c) treatment failure rates.
