Learning objectives
Principles and methods for the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases -
Demonstration of the pathogenic agent and its constituents in the pathological
material - Demonstration of a recent specific immune response - The medical
prescription of microbiological and virological investigations - Collection, transport
and preservation of the clinical samples for microbiological and virological
investigations - Aetiology, outline of pathogenesis, clinical samples, laboratory
diagnostic procedures, interpretation of the results of microbiological investigations
regarding the diagnosis of:
Infections of the respiratory apparatus - Infections of the intestinal apparatus and
related glands - Systemic infections - Infections of the cardiovascular apparatus -
Infections of the central nervous system - Infections of the genitourinary apparatur
and sexually - transmitted infections - Infections of the skin and cutaneous adnexa -
Infections of the muscular-skeletal apparatus - Infections of the eye and the earprenatal,
connatal and perinatal infections - The nosocomial infections - The
determination of susceptibility/resistance of the pathogenic agents to
chemotherapeutics - Methods - Interpretation of the results - The dosage of
chemotherapeutics in tissues and biological fluids.
