Introduction of the Department of Infectious Disease
The department of infectious disease, which was established in 1954, is one of the most important medical centers for infectious disease treatment, education and research in southern China. The department has 6 inpatient wards with a total of 230 beds. We have more than 199 staff, including 34 professors and 46 doctors. The annual outpatients visit is 4,800 and 140,000 for the inpatient visits. The department owns the most advanced equipments and technologies for prevention and treatment of liver diseases, such as stem cells therapy and artificial liver. We established a “patient follow-up system” in 2008. Until now, nearly 10000 patients had benefited from the system for the long-term standardized treatment.
Our department is one of the “Key Clinical Disciplines” in Guangdong province. As the “Center for Control and Prevention of Parasitic Disease” in Guangdong province and “Treatment Center for Public Health Emergency and Emerging Infectious Diseases”, we made great contributions during the SARS, bird flu, and H1N1 flu outbreak, hand-foot-and-mouth diseases and the other public health emergencies.
The department has one of the most famous infectious disease training programs in China, and is well-known for its excellent teaching and research contributions to the University. So far we have won nearly 100 awards, including “National Key Course” (2009), “National Bilingual Course” (2009), “Guangdong Provincial Excellent Course” (2000), “Provincial Key Course” (2006), and “Provincial Excel Teaching Team” (2011).

More than 500 articles are published on core journals collected by SCI database, such as the “New England Journal of Medcine”, “Hepatology”, “European Jourmal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology”, “Plos One” and so on.
