Microbiology, Immunology and General Infectology The goal of the course is to explain the relationships between individual reactivity of humans, pathogenic microorganisms and environment.The content of the course is general and clinical medical microbiology, immunology and general infectology. Immunology is taught in the winter semester, general infectology in the summer semester, microbiology in both semesters. The student will receive a partial credit for each subject. Their set will be the basis for granting credit for the entire course. Partial credit can be obtained after completing the prescribed part of course, ie in the winter semester they will be in microbiology and immunology, in the summer semester in microbiology and general infectology. At the end of the summer semester, students will receive a credit from the course on the basis of four partial credits. The purpose of the course from the point of view of a microbiologist is to teach students to understand the relationship between a pathogenic microorganism and its host in terms of adverse biological properties of the microorganism (pathogenicity, virulence) and in terms of defense of macroorganisms (nonspecific and specific immunity). The description of this relationship may be specified in the relevant nosological unit (infectious disease). Furthermore, the content of the subject is laboratory diagnostics, basics of treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. The course also teaches the principles of disease and the basic manifestations of diseases that have a non-infectious mechanism and immune system disorder is the basic or significant cause of the disease (autoimmune diseases, conditions of primary and secondary immunodeficiency and diseases caused by hypersensitivity). To facilitate teaching, clinical situations and case studies are used in some topics. In the summer semester, the course will include lectures on pathology and seminars on pharmacology. The exam is oral and includes microbiology, immunology and general infectology.

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.

Teaching methods -

Lectures will give basic informations about topics, seminars are based on interactive knowledqe acquisition. Practicum is based on immediate practical training of laboratory or clinical diagnostics procedures. Practicum at the clinic will allow to demonstrate the clinical science in reality.

Lectures / seminars/practimum will be taught by\ personal form, epidmiologic situation can this form change.

Please follow the information in the Teaching application Vyuka and on Moodle (3rd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Department of Microbiology).

Terms of exams from Microbiology, Immunology and General Infectology are on SIS (https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/index.php). Exam has an oral form.

 

Part Immunology:

·         Active presence at the course (practicum is obligatory)

·          67 % presence on seminars

·         Case presentation: A group of 3 students will elaborate a description of clinical case of immmune mediated disease. Based on the short description, students will select appropriate diagnostic procedures and tests. The teacher will provide feedback, test results and advice. The case description consists from symptoms descriptions, pathogenesis of the disease, appropriate tests, probable diagnosis a possible treatment. These results are presented by students during specific time for case presentation (Exam period), discussed by others and evaluated by teacher. Some question on the case topic. Resources for the case presentation - several citations from recent peer- rewied journals with formal aspects, lay information from web is not allowed as a reliable medical resource (example of reference:   Dlouhý P, Kučera P, Kraml P, Pompachová A, Potočková J, Šmejkalová V, Mokrejš P, Jaček M, Anděl M..
