AboutAbout the lab
Treating infectious diseases and working on hospital infection control
The lab is based in the Department of Infectious Diseases at University of Tsukuba Hospital, where it provides clinical care for infectious diseases and carries out hospital infection control.
When needed, it also takes consultations from inside and outside the hospital about patients in other departments, and gives clinical advice on infections in any organ in patients of all ages.
Its clinical areas are general infectious diseases, HIV infection, imported infectious diseases, and hospital infection control.
In research, it works on epidemiological studies of hospital-acquired infections and infectious disease surveillance in the southern Ibaraki area.
Key terms
- Epidemiological study
- Investigating, in a population, where and how infectious diseases are occurring
- Drug susceptibility
- How effective a given drug is against a pathogenic microorganism
- Surveillance
- Ongoing efforts to continuously monitor and collect data on how infectious diseases are occurring
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies infections that occur within the hospital and the infectious disease situation in the southern Ibaraki area. It also works on research such as evaluating the diagnostic characteristics of rapid tests for acute infectious gastroenteritis, validating methods for measuring blood concentrations of linezolid, and speeding up clinical tests, including genetic testing for infectious diseases.
