Last update: DZUPOVAO (01.10.2008)
The subject Infection and tropical medicine is addressed to students of general medicine, 5th year. Students learn pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnostics, differential diagnosis and principles of therapy of infectious diseases. The spectrum of diseases follows the actual needs of the subject in the Czech Republic.
Aim of the course -
Last update: DZUPOVAO (01.10.2008)

The primary goal is to teach students to diferentiate infectious diseases, to diagnose them and adopt the principles of treatment.

The secondary goal is to understand relations between microorganisms and human beeings, to be aware of the global aspect of infectious diseases, to understand the specific position of antibiotic (antiinfection) therapy among other therapeutic modalities.
