Clinical focus

Dr. Koyunseven’s work centers on the two areas listed in her profile. Infectious diseases as a specialty is concerned with the assessment and management of patients whose symptoms may be caused by an infection, including the interpretation of clinical findings alongside laboratory and imaging results. Clinical microbiology is the laboratory side of the same field: identifying the organism responsible for an infection and interpreting test results so that treatment decisions can be based on the most complete information available. Her background in emergency medicine and internal medicine preceded her specialty training and forms part of her general clinical experience.

Because infections can affect many organ systems, infectious diseases physicians often work together with colleagues from other departments. Further general information on the management of infections of the nervous system is available on this site’s page on neuroinfectious diseases treatment. Whether a particular condition falls within Dr. Koyunseven’s care is determined on a case-by-case basis after review of the patient’s records.

How Dr. Koyunseven works with international patients

Dr. Koyunseven speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who prefer another language. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and current symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. For patients who would like to speak with her before traveling, a video consultation for international patients is available, which can be used to review existing reports and clarify what a visit in İstanbul might involve.
