Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Microbiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Clinical infectiology is undergoing significant transformation.
  • Factors driving change include living standards, increased infection susceptibility, and improved diagnostics/therapeutics.
  • Current German medical practice, teaching, and research inadequately reflect these advancements.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the dynamic nature of clinical infectiology.
  • To emphasize the need for integrating modern infectiology into German medical systems.
  • To advocate for the reintegration of infectiology as a key medical specialty.

Summary:

  • Infectious disease epidemiology and management are rapidly evolving globally.
  • Key drivers include socioeconomic shifts, rising immunocompromised populations, and technological progress in diagnostics and treatment.
  • Germany's medical education and practice lag behind these critical developments.

Impact:

  • Reintegration of infectiology is crucial for advancing patient care in Germany.
  • Enhanced medical teaching and research are necessary to address evolving infectious disease challenges.
  • A revitalized specialty will improve Germany's preparedness for future public health threats.
