Are you looking for an infectious disease specialist in Barcelona?
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. An infectious disease physician is the specialist involved in the treatment of conditions such as HIV, hepatitis, infections in immunocompromised individuals, tropical diseases, sexually transmitted infections, and bacterial infections such as recurrent urinary tract infections, skin infections, and any other type of contagious and communicable disease, including COVID-19.
The Infectious and Tropical Diseases specialty has recently emerged to meet the specific needs of international travelers, especially to tropical areas.
In addition to the mandatory vaccinations for travel to certain areas, travel health advice is extremely important to avoid contracting tropical diseases and to protect oneself as much as possible from common travel health problems.

What are infectious diseases?
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. These diseases can be transmitted, directly or indirectly, from person to person. Zoonoses are infectious diseases in animals that can be transmitted to humans.
It is important to remember that tropical diseases are diseases that are only or mainly found in the tropics. In practice, this refers to infectious diseases that occur in hot and humid climates, such as malaria, leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, onchocerciasis, lymphatic filariasis, Chagas disease, African trypanosomiasis or dengue.
Since 2020, Covid-19 is also one of these infectious diseases affecting all countries in the world.
