Infectious Diseases

Overview

The Infectious Diseases department at SRV Hospitals provides care for patients of all ages who have contracted various infections. The department offers services both in the hospital and on an outpatient basis. The specialists in this field identify and treat infections caused by exposure to infectious diseases and those that occur as a result of organ transplants and other surgical procedures. Infectious Disease is a relatively new specialty in India that deals with the selection of antibodies, difficult infections, and fever. The department also conducts research to enhance understanding and improve treatment options for infectious diseases.

The Department establishes the guidelines that govern personal and ward cleanliness, as well as the hospital’s infection screening process. It works closely with the Microbiology Department to monitor infections and prevent communicable disease spread throughout the hospital.

Several features have been built into the hospital to reduce the risk of infection. Among these are operating rooms with more than 20 air exchanges, laminar air flow, and modular OTs. Our ICU also has individual patient cubicles, as well as negative isolation rooms for infectious patients and positive isolation rooms for immunocompromised patients. We can quickly identify organisms from cultures thanks to our cutting-edge technology, which includes automated blood culture systems and state-of-the-art MALDO-TOF.

Our nursing staff, engineering service, housekeeping staff, Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD), and advanced microbiology lab are all dedicated to making our hospital infection-free.

Our knowledge goes beyond infection control to include a wide range of diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, such as molecular biology and drug levels.

At SRV Hospitals, we are dedicated to providing top-notch care to our patients.
