Freshly Unveiled Infectious Diseases Hospital Now Operational in Solingen
Solingen, Germany - The Municipal Hospital Solingen has taken a significant step forward in comprehensive care with the opening of a new Infectious Disease Outpatient Clinic in House F. This expansion aims to cater to a wide range of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on HIV care and treatment.
The Infectious Disease Outpatient Clinic is under the leadership of Senior Physician Dr. Lukas Eberwein and offers specialized treatment and counseling for patients with complex infectious diseases. The clinic provides modern isolation facilities, crucial during pandemic threats like coronaviruses or influenza viruses.
The C02 ward, part of this new clinic, contributes significantly to inpatient care, with 18 beds treating a wide range of infectious diseases, including bacterial bloodstream infections, sepsis, hepatitis infections, and bone and joint infections. The ward is also specialized in clarifying fever of unknown origin and treating patients with infectious diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases or viral respiratory infections.
One of the key aspects of the expanded services at Solingen's Infectious Disease Outpatient Clinic is its focus on HIV care. The clinic provides local and modern treatment for those affected, including the medical HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an effective measure to prevent HIV infections. This expansion is expected to significantly improve the quality of life of HIV patients, making trips to Wuppertal or Düsseldorf unnecessary.
The clinic also offers a consultation for animal bites, insect and tick bites, as well as Lyme disease, although this is a self-paying service. Cooperation with AIDS support organizations and specialist physicians in the region ensures comprehensive consultations and therapies based on the latest medical standards.
Close cooperation with other specialties ensures the therapy of infections is always updated with the latest scientific findings. The clinic is also involved in antibiotic stewardship to ensure the sustainable use of antibiotics.
