Microbiology, Immunology and General Infectology The goal of the course is to explain the relationships between individual reactivity of humans, pathogenic microorganisms and environment.

Aim of the course -

The goal of the course is to explain the relationships between  individual reactivity of humans, pathogenic microorganisms and environment. The basis is to understand  interactions between various microorganisms and individual defense mechanisms of human organism, to specify and quantify both players of interactions - detection of pathogens and their property and features of immune mechanisms. This educational process on the microscopic and molecular level  is supplemented by the clinical approach - demonstration of clinical cases with origin of infection or diseases caused by immune disorders. •Students are expected to combine knowledge of pathophysiology, microbiology, immunology and histopathology - rational clinical science will be born from that. Students will get knowledge of clinical picture of infectious and immunopathologic diseases, diagnostic approach and basics of therapeutic approach.
