Infectious Diseases

The Infectious Diseases Service has extensive expertise in transplant medicine and provides comprehensive support across all IRCCS ISMETT clinical programs.

In transplant recipients, infectious disease specialists play a pivotal role in preventing infections, conducting virologic surveillance, including monitoring for EBV, CMV, and other herpesviruses, and managing opportunistic infections in accordance with established evidence-based protocols.

The Service also supports the surveillance and prevention of health care-associated infections, implements antimicrobial stewardship initiatives, and develops innovative treatment protocols for infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) and pandrug-resistant (PDR) organisms.
