Services

General infectious diseases focuses on the prevention, consultation, assessment, and treatment of infectious illnesses. Our main areas of expertise include the consultation and treatment of:

• Infectious diseases affecting all organ systems

• Complex bone infections and infections involving foreign materials, in interdisciplinary collaboration with specialists in orthopedics or neurosurgery

• Unexplained fever or other conditions that may be caused by an infection

• Infectious hepatitis (liver infections)

• HIV infections

• Sexually transmitted diseases (screening and treatment)

• Tuberculosis

We provide intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapies on an outpatient basis, provided that all patient criteria are met and safe treatment can be ensured. For the safety of our patients, we assess individually whether this form of therapy is suitable for a specific infectious disease or for the individual patient. By carrying out treatment on an outpatient basis, we avoid unnecessary or prolonged hospitalizations. Our services include in particular:

• Administration of intravenous antibiotic therapy 

   

• Organization of outpatient medical follow-up appointments and further diagnostic assessments

• Therapy on behalf of general practitioners and medical institutions 

• Coordination with general practitioners and other referring institutions
