Infectious diseases are communicable diseases that develop when their causative agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa) enter the body and continue to multiply in it. The agents may multiply at the site of entry (a local infection), and some may spread throughout the body via the circulatory and lymphatic systems (sepsis, otherwise known as blood poisoning).
The doctor (infectologist) at AND klinika diagnoses and treats:
- microbial infections of the intestines;
- of the respiratory tract;
- of the blood system;
- infectious wound diseases;
- zoonoses (infectious diseases that humans contract from animals).
When treating infections of various origins, the infectologist works together with specialists from other fields and orders the necessary laboratory and instrumental (echoscopic, endoscopic, computed tomography (CT), X-ray, etc.) tests.
Our clinic's infectious disease doctors (infectologists) quickly and accurately identify the causes of the health disorder, diagnose diseases and prescribe the necessary treatment.
