Clinical focus

A large part of Dr. Hürmüzlü’s practice involves the evaluation and management of infections of the lower respiratory tract and other communicable diseases. He also sees patients with sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis and HPV, and provides diagnostic assessment, treatment and follow-up in line with each patient’s clinical picture. His work with viral infections includes the management of hepatitis and the long-term care of people living with HIV and AIDS, where regular monitoring and treatment adjustment form an important part of ongoing management.

Preventive care is another area of his work. Dr. Hürmüzlü advises adults on vaccination appropriate to their age, health status and exposure risk, and offers travel health guidance for patients planning to visit regions where specific infectious risks may be present. He also assesses and treats patients with shingles, with attention to symptom control and the recognition of complications. Each treatment plan is based on the individual patient’s history, examination findings and laboratory results, and the possible benefits and limitations of the available options are discussed with the patient.

How Dr. Hürmüzlü works with international patients

Dr. Hürmüzlü consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as laboratory and pathology results, X-ray, CT or ultrasound reports, discharge summaries and records of previous treatments, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing test results and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the options that may be suitable. For international patients, a video consultation is available and can be used for an initial assessment or a review of existing findings before any decision about travel is made.
