At Afaq Medical Care Center in Ibri-Driz, we understand that accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment. Therefore, we have developed the Department of Microbiology within our state-of-the-art laboratories to be an essential reference for the accurate and rapid identification of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. <\/p>\n
Microbiology is a branch that specializes in the study of microorganisms that are invisible to the naked eye, which may be responsible for many infectious diseases. This area includes accurate tests that reveal: <\/p>\n
Bacteria (e.g. E. E. coli, staphylococcus, streptococcus…) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Viruses (such as influenza, herpes, respiratory viruses) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Fungi (e.g. Candida, Aspergillus) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Parasites (e.g. amoeba, giardia) <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The analysis process is based on:<\/p>\n
Sample culture<\/strong>: such as urine, feces, blood, sputum, or swabs of the skin or throat, and placed in a special food medium for the reproduction of microbes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Microscopy and chemical analysis<\/strong>: To examine the shape of microbes or determine their components.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Antibiotic susceptibility test<\/strong>: To find out the best type of antibiotic to use with the detected microbe.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n This procedure helps the doctor to determine the type of infection accurately and choose the most appropriate treatment without resorting to random treatment. <\/p>\n This analysis is required in the following cases:<\/p>\n Frequent or unresponsive infections to conventional antibiotics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fever of unknown cause<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ulcers or wounds that don’t heal<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Urinary, throat or lung infections<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Chronic diarrhea<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Fungal infections in people with diabetes or immunodeficiency<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n At the Afaq Medical Care Center in Ibri \u2013 Driz, we offer: <\/p>\n Modern devices for accurate sample culture and diagnosis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Medical Personnel Specialized in Microbiological Analysis<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Strict sterilization standards are applied to ensure the safety of samples<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Deliver results in record time<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Interpretation of results directly by specialist doctors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n We believe that accurate diagnosis provides half of the treatment, so we are constantly evolving this department to serve patients with the highest efficiency. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At Afaq Medical Care Center in Ibri-Driz, we understand that accurate diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment.
