Internal MedicineClinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
Our department provides diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of healthcare-associated infections, particularly in patients admitted to intensive care units. These infections, primarily pulmonary and bloodstream infections, as well as surgical site infections and urinary tract infections, are frequently seen in patients in intensive care. These infections are often caused by microorganisms resistant to many antibiotics, making treatment challenging. Treatment of these patients is carried out in accordance with international guidelines.
History
On 26 January 1976, the Faculty Council of Antalya Faculty of Medicine met to establish 30 basic chairs, one of which was Infectious Tropical Diseases. Prof. Dr. Niyazi SEZEN was elected as the first chair (01.04.1976). Prof. Dr. Gültekin ALTAY, who was an Associate Professor in our faculty at that time, was appointed as the Head of the Department on 07.02.1983, and in the years following December 1983, he came to our Faculty for certain periods and gave internship courses.
