: Diagnostics and Therapy of Infectious Diseases is one semester course consisting of 12 four hours classes (3 hours of lectures plus one hour of seminars or practical demonstrations) with topics of important human viral, bacterial, mycotic and parasitic infections. It will take place at the Department of Infectious, Parasitic and Tropical Diseases of the Hospital Na Bulovce in Prague. The course is focused on the clinical picture, diagnostics and management of human infectious diseases with main focus on the modern laboratory methods, antimicrobial therapy including resistance detection to antimicrobials and its molecular mechanisms. There will be demonstrated patients with infectious diseases. Isolation word for patients with highly contagious infections will be visited. Direct and non-direct diagnostic methods at the microbiology and parasitology laboratories will be demonstrated. The seminars will test knowledge and interpretation of important microbial diagnostic methods.
