Infectious Diseases
Infections are diseases, including some contagious ones, that can occur in any part of our body and that are caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Advanced diagnostic methods and use of novel antimicrobial medicines enable diagnosis and treatment of many infectious diseases.
A wide range of diseases, including common cold, urinary tract infection, diarrhea and other diseases that can be more serious and even fatal, such as AIDS, meningitis, tuberculosis, and hepatitis, can be treated and followed up by the infectious diseases specialists. Since fever is one of the most symptoms of the infectious diseases and the infections are the most common cause of fever, the department of infectious diseases plays an important role in the assessment of patients with fever.

Our infectious diseases physicians plan and implement team work for following up and preventing nosocomial infections that are caused by highly resistant microorganisms especially in intensive care units. Infection control committee, which was established for this purpose, conducts the duties of preventing the unnecessary use of antibodies, training the personnel on infection control continuously and auditing the appropriate and effective cleaning of all the departments of the hospital.
Infectious diseases physicians provide counseling for the vaccination needs and vaccination procedures for the adults.
