Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology

Our Infectious Diseases department provides diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, with detailed clinical evaluation especially for unexplained fever and signs of infection.

Upper and lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intestinal infections, hepatitis, skin and soft tissue infections and various other infectious conditions are among the department’s main areas of care.
