| Objective Objectives/Desired Results: |
- The purpose of the course "Microbiology II" is the description of the various viruses (morphological characteristics, life cycle, mode of transmission, etc.), their role in infections, the application of diagnostic algorithms for the investigation of viral infections and finally the evaluation of laboratory findings. In addition, the main parasites and fungi are taught with a focus on the clinical entities they cause, the mode of transmission and the methods of diagnosis.
- Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to know
infections caused by viruses, parasites, fungi
• the laboratory tests required for the documentation of the person in charge
microorganism
• the treatment and mode of infections
