Head of Service
Infectious Diseases
The Infectious Diseases Service has a strong expertise in transplantation medicine and provides comprehensive support across all IRCCS ISMETT clinical programs.
In transplant recipients, infectious disease specialists play a pivotal role in infection prevention, virology surveillance (including EBV, CMV, and other herpes viruses), and the management of opportunistic infections, following established evidence-based protocols.
The Service also contributes to the surveillance and prevention of health care-associated infections, implementation of antimicrobial stewardship initiatives, and development of innovative treatment protocols for infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) organisms.
