You can reach our university outpatient clinic by following the signs "Consultation hours outpatient clinics". To do this, you must go up the central staircase or take the lift to level 1. You will then be informed at the outpatient clinic registration desk which waiting area you can sit in.
Therapy and research in the Department of Internal Medicine III
The Department of Internal Medicine III treats inflammatory rheumatic diseases. These are mainly rheumatoid arthritis, spondylarthopathies such as ankylosing spondylitis, collagenoses such as lupus erythematosus and scleroderma and vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels). Patients with unclear clinical pictures who are suspected of having a rheumatic disease are also treated here. One focus of treatment is drug therapy with modern anti-rheumatic medication, in particular with so-called "biologicals", i.e. antibody therapies that specifically intervene in the inflammatory processes. Similar to our haematological-oncological focus, we also try to offer patients new innovative therapy concepts as part of therapy studies. Treatment takes place in the private outpatient clinic or rheumatology outpatient clinic. Infusion therapies are carried out in the medical oncology day clinic or, if necessary, on the wards.
