Is that written and recognized somewhere, especially in a way that excludes benefiting others who may catch a disease from the patient?

 Obviously, benefit to others is not "excluded" but must not must not come at a cost to the person treated (medical diagnosis is different from medical treatment).
 In German law, medical treatment without "informed consent" counts a Grievous Bodily Harm.  "Informed consent" for purely altruistic interventions (e.g. donate a kidney to your daughter) must be documented very meticulously.
 

It would seem to forbid the ancient and very sound practice of quarantine.

 "Vaccination to contain" in the simplest form of an optional flu shot is typically a "minor benefit" rather than a "detriment" to the person vaccinated.  The containment aspect mostly comes into the game when health insurances decide whether and how much the patient has to pay for the pleasure.
 The ancient and sound practice of Quarantaine is typically imposed and administrated by "Public Health" officials putting potentially infectuous people out of the public, not by physicians.
