Author Information

Maša Velušček is affiliated with the Department of Infectious Diseases at the University Medical Center Ljubljana, located at Japljeva 2, Ljubljana 1525, Slovenia. Her research primarily focuses on infectious diseases, with a particular interest in Lyme borreliosis and its clinical outcomes, as well as the treatment and prevention of other infectious diseases such as influenza.

Research Contributions

Maša Velušček has contributed significantly to the field of infectious diseases through various research studies. Her work includes investigating the association between statin use and the clinical course of early Lyme borreliosis, examining the efficacy of different durations of postexposure chemoprophylaxis with oseltamivir in preventing hospital transmission of influenza, and studying antibiotic use in patients with tick-borne encephalitis and co-infections. Furthermore, she has explored treatment options for erythema migrans, comparing oral doxycycline and intravenous ceftriaxone, and has also researched doxycycline-induced photosensitivity in patients.
