The infectious diseases service at Auckland City Hospital contributes to the care of people with a wide variety of infections both within the hospital and in the Auckland/Northland community.
We directly look after a small number of people on the infectious diseases ward (Ward 68), Level 6 of the new hospital building. We also see a large number of people who are being looked after by other services throughout the hospital to offer advice on the appropriate management of problems due to infection.
We see a large number of people with non urgent problems in our outpatient clinic on Level 6 of the Support Building. Click here for directions to the Clinic.
We see people with:
| › | HIV infection |
| › | infections after surgery |
| › | travel associated infections such as malaria, dengue and typhoid |
| › | tuberculosis involving organs other than the lungs |
| › | infections after organ/bone marrow transplants or in people whose immune system is suppressed for other reasons |
| › | infections that will require prolonged intravenous antibiotic treatment that we can often arrange to give at home – OPIVA service. |
