The Infectious Diseases department treats patients with fever or inflammation of unclear origin, those with difficult infections, referred patients or those with chronic infections such as HIV or TB. The department is therefore well placed to detect the cause of conditions that cannot immediately be identified or that affect several organs or the entire body at the same time, and finding the right treatment for these ailments. If necessary, you will be referred to organ specialists after the diagnosis.
In view of the broad field of activity and difficult pathology, it is obvious that we intensively work with other specialists at the Jan Yperman Hospital and also with university hospitals.
The activities of the department take place at:
Consultation and hospitalisation are preferably on referral by the general practitioner or another specialist. For efficient care, we always ask you to bring the letter from the referring doctor and the results of previous tests (all available reports).
