Aim of the course -
Last update: doc. MUDr. Petr Kučera, Ph.D. (02.12.2019)

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.

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.

Credit for the COurse is  based on 3 Colloqiums (Microbiology, Immunology, Infectology)

Part Immunology:

·         Active presence at the course (practicum is obligatory)

·        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..
