Specialized diagnosis of infections in Vigo
At the Clinical Analysis and Microbiology Laboratory at Ribera Povisa Hospital in Vigo, we perform essential diagnostic tests for the detection, monitoring, and prevention of diseases. Our Clinical Analysis Laboratory has a wide catalog of biochemistry, serology, immunology, tumor marker, hormone, and other samples, whose results have a rapid response time to enable efficient clinical decision-making. The Microbiology Laboratory is highly specialized in the rapid and accurate diagnosis of bacterial, viral and fungal infections, using advanced microbiological techniques. We perform cultures of various biological matrices, including stool, urine, blood, and secretions, and, if appropriate, perform antibiograms to determine the most effective treatment.
