Infectious Diseases

The Infectious Diseases Department at HRS Ankara Hospital offers a comprehensive range of services for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections. Infectious diseases are a group of illnesses that can not only affect daily life but also have serious consequences for overall health. These diseases occur when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites enter the body. Our hospital ensures the rapid diagnosis and effective treatment of infections while also providing preventive healthcare services to minimize the risk of these diseases.

Expertise Areas of Our Department:

Bacterial, Viral, and Parasitic Infections

The Infectious Diseases Department at HRS Ankara Hospital has a specialized team dedicated to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections. Different types of infectious diseases present varying symptoms based on the microorganism involved. Bacterial infections (e.g., pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections) and viral infections (e.g., influenza, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS) require distinct treatment protocols. Additionally, parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria, intestinal parasites) vary based on regional factors. Therefore, tailored treatment methods are applied according to the type of infection.

Vaccination Programs and Immune System Support

One of the most effective preventive measures against infections is vaccination. Our hospital provides vaccinations for childhood immunization programs, seasonal flu, hepatitis, and other significant infectious diseases. In addition, we offer consultation services on immune system strengthening through personalized treatment and supplementation plans. Special vaccination programs are implemented for individuals with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients and HIV-positive individuals.

Antibiotic Resistance and Management

The misuse or overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections more difficult to treat. Our hospital follows a responsible and controlled approach to antibiotic use. We ensure the appropriate selection of antibiotics, proper dosage adjustment, and continuous monitoring of treatment progress. Additionally, patient education programs are conducted to raise awareness and prevent unnecessary antibiotic use, thereby reducing the development of antibiotic resistance.

Prevention and Control of Hospital-Acquired Infections

A strict infection control program is implemented in our hospital to prevent hospital-acquired infections. To minimize the spread of infections among patients, we adhere to high hygiene standards and carefully monitor sterilization processes throughout the hospital. Our infectious disease team continuously supervises infection prevention by ensuring the use of sterile equipment, enforcing hygiene protocols, and providing staff training.

Additional Services and Specializations:

Tuberculosis and Pneumonia Treatment

Tuberculosis (TB) and pneumonia are common infectious diseases that can lead to severe complications if left untreated. Our expert team provides diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up care for these conditions. Preventive measures, including vaccinations and consultation services, are also offered to reduce the risk of these diseases.

Tropical Diseases

Tropical infectious diseases pose a risk for individuals traveling to or arriving from tropical regions. HRS Ankara Hospital has a specialized team for the diagnosis and treatment of tropical diseases, including malaria, dengue fever, and the Zika virus. Pre-travel consultation services are available to provide necessary health precautions and information.

Blood and Urinary Tract Infections

Our department also provides treatment for urinary tract infections, which are more common in women, and for conditions that present symptoms such as hematuria (blood in urine). Treatment approaches include antibiotic therapy, fluid replacement, and, if necessary, surgical interventions.

Pneumonia and Respiratory Infections

Pneumonia can be life-threatening, especially for elderly individuals and those with weakened immune systems. At HRS Ankara Hospital, respiratory infections are diagnosed quickly, and effective treatment methods are applied to ensure recovery.

Education and Community Awareness

Our hospital regularly organizes seminars and educational sessions to increase public awareness of infectious diseases. Topics such as infection prevention, hygiene practices, and the importance of vaccinations are covered in these training sessions, helping individuals become more informed and proactive in protecting their health.
