WATCH OUT FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES DURING VACATION!
24 June 2024
Exotic travel, wilderness hikes and lots of time spent in nature. Vacations are not only a time to relax, they are also a time when we are more exposed than usual to infectious diseases. This is a group of diseases caused by various microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted directly from person to person, through animals, contaminated water or food, and even through contact with contaminated surfaces.
Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of such diseases are the main goals of the Infectious Disease Clinic in the NZOZ Twój Lekarz network. In the Promenady Wrocławskie and Kobierzyce commercial clinics, Dr. Ewa Jarowicz provides advice in this area. The infectious disease specialist deals with liver diseases, among other issues. She also consults pregnant patients on zoonoses.
Doctor Ewa Jarowicz is known to patients of the NZOZ Twój Lekarz network, who participated in the TICK-BORNE DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS program. Practical advice on how to protect yourself from tick bites and prevent Lyme disease is available in the podcast series CO NA TO TWÓJ LEKARZ
Vaccination is a key method of preventing many infectious diseases, such as influenza, polio, acute rotavirus diarrhea, chickenpox, and viral hepatitis. With vaccination, severe complications and even death can be avoided. Vaccination is important both for individual protection and for public health, helping to stop the spread of diseases.
You can register for the Infectious Disease Clinic of NZOZ Twój Lekarz by phone at 71 311 12 36, Monday to Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
The conversation touches on a key aspect of family medicine: the physician's role in health education and collaborative planning of next steps. The program doesn't end with diagnosis. Its goal is to create an individualized health plan and provide real support to the patient in changing their lifestyle.
The discussion focuses on the practical aspects of participating in the program – from the first step, choosing a primary care facility, through completing the questionnaire, to interpreting test results and the role of the family doctor. Particular emphasis is placed on the importance of cardiovascular disease prevention and the role of lifestyle in reducing health risks.
