Course Objectives: | The purpose of this course is to the acquisition of knowledge regarding etiology, diagnosis, laboratory findings, clinical characteristics and treatment modalities of infectious diseases. Understanding how a patient’s social history (travel, HIV risk factors, exposures) can have a significant impact on the differential diagnosis and management of infections, antibiotic selection and therapy including familiarity with major classes, choosing appropriate antibiotics and monitoring for antibiotic toxicities are learned. Exposure to a broad range of major syndromes including community and hospital-acquired pneumonia, infective endocarditis, cellulitis, urinary tract infections and the evaluation of fever, appropriate use of diagnostic services including gram stain and culture, antimicrobial sensitivity testing and other standard microbiology lab techniques, understanding basic principles of infection control are described. Approach to critically ill patients and immunosuppressed patients, as well as an understanding of their specific spectrum of diseases are discussed. |
Course Content: | Appropriate use of diagnostic services in infectious diseases and evaluation of their results Principles of diagnosis and treatment of flu Evaluation of fever in clinical diagnosis Rash Fever of unknown origin Significant parasitic diseases Infection control, definitions, basic principles Cellulite, Necrotizing fasciitis Standard microbiological laboratory tests. Acquisition of appropriate inspection material Varicella The importance of anamnesis in infectious diseases: travel, HIV risk, exposure Urinary system infections Clinical practice Community-acquired and hospital-acquired pneumonia HIV/AIDS Travel, Migration and Infections Sepsis, SIRS Infection urgents: Meningitis, sepsis Vaccinations Clinical practice Antibiotic susceptibility tests Rational antibiotic use and toxicity management Infective endocarditis, diagnostic and clinical approach Viral Hepatitis Clinical practice Examination |
