In an unprecedented medical achievement, Saudi German Hospital Aseer demonstrated
cutting-edge healthcare excellence with the successful employment of MALDI-TOF, a
revolutionary laser technology, to diagnose and treat a patient suffering from a severe mitral
valve mass caused by a bacterial infection, alongside seizures.
The doctors’ decision to utilize MALDI-TOF, thanks to their expertise, saved the patient days of
waiting for traditional diagnostic results.
A rapid identification of the microbe, achieved with 90% accuracy within hours, allowed the
doctors to swiftly initiate treatment with a targeted drug protocol, ultimately leading to the
patient’s recovery.
This patient’s remarkable journey embodies the “Caring Like Family” ethos at Saudi German
Hospital Aseer, where the Kingdom’s best doctors provide compassionate care, leveraging
state-of-the-art facilities and technologies and partnership with Mayo Clinic.
