You may not be familiar with the department of "Infectious Diseases". Department Infectious Disease medicine is a department that diagnoses patients with suspected infectious diseases and treats those diagnosed with infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can present with a variety of symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, etc., and can sometimes be difficult to diagnose. Infections caused by rare pathogens or bacteria that are resistant to antimicrobial agents could be difficult to treat.
Our mission at the Department of Infectious Diseases is to treat patients with such infectious diseases that are difficult to diagnose and treat.
In addition to this, we plan to start an outpatient vaccination clinic for vaccination and infection prevention consultations. We will provide consultations on vaccinations for the prevention of infectious diseases required in various situations, such as the traveler's vaccine before going on an overseas trip or the pneumococcal vaccine before an upcoming surgery to remove the spleen.
