Topic

The role of the subject in the fulfilment of the educational targets, short summary of the topics: The main goal is to acquire knowledge and understanding of the etiology, epidemiology, clinical appearance, differential diagnosis, therapy and the prevention of infectious diseases. The topic includes the immunological aspects of the infectious diseases, hospital hygiene, clinical epidemiology, nosocomial infections, sepsis, and the differential diagnosis of feverish diseases, antibiotic policy also. During practical teachings, the students will be taught on taking the patient?s history suspected for infectious diseases, to perform simple laboratory tests, like reading of blood smear, performing abdominal, chest and lumbar taps.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

The attendance of the practices is obligatory. Only 2 absences are permitted (max 15%) from practices. The head of dep. can permit four practices to be fulfilled at different times, beyond the scheduled time table. The students are obligated to perform exam (practical and oral) at the end of the semester.

Mid-term exams

Students take a written test during the exam period with the exam topics listed below. The result of the written test gives 80% of the final grade. 4 written exams are scheduled. Performance during the practices in the instruction period and the result of an oral practical exam held during the last two weeks of the instruction period account for 20% of the final grade.

Making up for missed classes

The absences can be substituted by joining to another group.
Compensation of absences: obtaining permission from the head of the dept.
