Infectious diseases
A.A. 2019/2020
Obiettivi formativi
The course provides students with knowledge about infectious diseases and the principles of antimicrobial therapy. The student is introduced to the patophysiology, the clinical presentation, the course, the epidemiology and the principles of drug therapy of bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infectious diseases of different organs and systems. Vector-borne and emerging/neglected diseases will be also addressed.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
At the end of the course, students should be able to:
-Describe how a patient's social history (travel, HIV risk factors, exposures) can have a significant impact on the differential diagnosis and management of infections
-Describe and analyse a broad range of major syndromes including community and hospital-acquired pneumonia, infective endocarditis, cellulitis, urinary tract infections and the evaluation of fever
-Apply diagnostic services including gram stain and culture, antimicrobial sensitivity testing and other standard microbiology lab techniques
-Discuss and appropriately apply the basic principles of infection control such as contact or respiratory isolation and contact tracing
-Describe exposure to critically ill patients and immunosuppressed patients, as well as an understanding of their specific spectrum of diseases

Prerequisiti
To take the Infectious Diseases exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento e criteri di valutazione
Students assessment is based on oral examinations of Pharmacology and Infectious Diseases, that must be taken in the same session. The final mark is the average of the two oral marks weighted for the credits of each module.
The exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. In the event of a full grade (30/30) honors (lode) may be granted with the consent of all the professors.
Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
