He has also acted as a consultant for the Food and Drug Administration, the United States Public Health Service, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Additionally, he provided medical services to Cambodian refugees who fled to Thailand.
Dr. Brown has also contributed his expertise to the medical field both as an author and editor. He has published numerous papers on the infectious complications in the immunocompromised host as well as latent tuberculosis infection in healthcare workers. He was as a consulting editor of the American Journal of Medicine, and has edited medical texts such as "Infectious Complication of Neoplastic Diseases: Controversies in Management" and "Infections in Oncology." He also sat on several editorial boards such as the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, Microbial Drug Resistance, and European Journal of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
