Department of Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases today represent one of the most significant challenges. Their key distinguishing feature is that the infected individual releases the causative agent into the environment, becoming a new source of infection.
These diseases are classified into bacterial and viral, acute and chronic, with and without fever, as well as infections characterized by prolonged fever.
The most common infectious diseases include: influenza, parainfluenza, adenovirus infections, coronavirus infections, rhinovirus infections, respiratory syncytial virus infections, herpesviruses, and hepatitis-causing viruses - A, B, C, D, E, EBV, CMV.
Infections of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (e.g., erysipelas, acute lymphadenitis, localized subcutaneous tissue infections).
Infections caused by insect bites, such as borreliosis (Lyme disease), leishmaniasis, and others.
The detection of infectious diseases involves the use of various diagnostic methods, with the most important being the collection of the medical history and the symptoms presented by the patient:
- General weakness, joint and muscle pain
- Sore throat, runny nose
- Fever, chills
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Excessive sweating
- Diarrhea
- Discomfort during urination
