The Clinical Department of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine is a well-known point of contact for patients with infections and tropical diseases beyond the borders of Austria.


Our primary goal is to provide the most effective possible care for patients with infectious diseases, using treatment that is guided by cutting-edge medical principles. The Division’s research is geared towards achieving continuous improvements in diagnostic and treatment procedures, with a view to making new findings accessible to all patients as quickly as possible.
Our special outpatient clinics provide the best possible treatment for patients who are affected by specific infections and tropical diseases. In addition, the Division of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine offers a consultation service that can be reached 24 hours a day.
As a university training centre, the Division is highly regarded throughout Europe. Members of the Division hold various lectures and postgraduate training courses on topics related to infectious diseases and tropical medicine.
