The infection ward treats severe, acute infectious diseases. The ward also treats rheumatology patients.
 
Patients are referred to the inpatient ward from emergency clinics as well as from other specialities’ inpatient wards, for example from the surgical inpatient ward, to receive further treatment for infection problems. Some patients are admitted to the inpatient ward based on a physician’s referral.

  •  Patients requiring isolation due to their disease, e.g. tuberculosis
  •  Patients suffering from an immunological disorder, such as HIV
  •  Patients with an unclear fever or whose diagnosis or treatment is otherwise
     particularly challenging
