Clinical
The Division of Infectious Diseases
(ID) provides tertiary level inpatient consultative
care for adult and paediatric patients of
the Southeastern Ontario Health Sciences
Centre. Secondary and tertiary outpatient
care is provided through outpatient clinics
for adults at Kingston General Hospital,
and at Hotel Dieu Hospital for those aged
18 years and younger. Specialized clinics,
such as the Clinical Immunology Outpatient
Clinic, provide care for patients with HIV
infection and AIDS. Through the Regional
Home/ Ambulatory Program the Division provides
outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy
throughout Southeastern Ontario.

provide services for the Southeastern Ontario
region, patients and requests for consultations
and advice from beyond the region, are accepted.
Research The research role of the Division of Infectious
Diseases includes independent and collaborative
studies of a varied nature, including clinical
trials and epidemiologic studies. |
