Dr. Leegaard's work addresses critical areas in infectious disease dynamics, including antimicrobial resistance patterns, viral evolution, and diagnostic methodology. Recent publications examine post-COVID conditions, pleural infection diagnostics, and travel-related pathogen spread.

His article trends reveal expertise in molecular diagnostics (PCR panels, metagenomic sequencing), antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and epidemiological surveillance of infections like MRSA, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and rotavirus. Collaborative research includes cross-sectional and cohort studies on adolescent health post-viral infections.
