The purpose of the course is the students' first contact with infections in Pediatrics. Infections are the most common cause of hospitalization in Pediatrics and children are the main source of spread of common infections in the community. Specifically, they will analyze:
- the pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action of antibiotics
- the symptomatology and clinical course of common pediatric infections
- the clinical laboratory test that must be performed in order to document a pathogenic microorganism
- the domestic spread of infections, infections in nurseries, schools and camps
- how to choose the antibiotic in common pediatric infections
- consequences of antibiotic abuse
The above will enable students to acquire the necessary knowledge to be able to choose the appropriate antibiotic for common pediatric infections and at the same time to understand the consequences of antibiotic abuse. The final goal is the rational use of antibiotics and the reduction of the spread of resistant strains both in the community and in the Hospital.
