Overview
Course Content:
The module aims to apply immunological and microbiological principles to evaluate
pathophysiology and to investigate immunological and microbiological disease processes.It also aims to critically review the theory and practice of modern diagnostic clinical
immunology and medical microbiology.The module initially explores in detail diseases of: overactive immunity (e.g. autoimmune
disease and hypersensitivity); and of immune deficiency (e.g. AIDS). It also explores
other key areas of clinical immunology such as cancer immunology, monoclonal
antibodies and laboratory diagnostics.The module then explores infectious diseases and the principles and practise of the
Medical Microbiology. Selected Infectious diseases and their laboratory diagnosis shall
be studied in depth using an organ system approach; for example, infections of the
respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract.Autumn Semester content summary: diseases of Immune system, clinical immunology,
diagnostic immunology.
Spring Semester content summary: Infectious diseases, their lab diagnosis and control.Teaching: Lectures, tutorials and practical sessions
