| Preliminary Knowledge: | Anatomy, biochemistry, biology, parasitology, pathologic physiology, microbiology, infectology, internal diseases, clinical pharmacology and immunology. | ||||||||
| Objective: | To provide theoretical and practical knowledge about mechanisms of development of different syndromes in the human body characteristic to infectious diseases in order to make adequate and appropriate differential diagnosis and to strengthen investigative skills by setting up the individual investigation programme for each patient. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Preliminary preparation of the topic to be discussed in the practical class, report on the selected topic. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Independent work: a report, assessment criteria – compliance of the content of the report with the selected topic; design of the report; student’s individual input, contribution or work invested; level of student’s knowledge evaluated by the lecturer (responsible for the group) when discussing the individual study report with the student. Examination: assessment of the independent study report, written part: tree theoretical questions and one clinical case. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Students will be able to describe and systematize clinical symptoms from the aspect of differential diagnosis; to describe required investigations, including specific, laboratory and other investigations and provide reasons supporting this necessity by using genetic tests and drug resistance identifying analyses; to comment on facts confirming diagnosis of infectious disease and formulate diagnosis; to describe and analyse infectious diseases which have atypical presentation of the disease and are infrequent in Latvia; to demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary for differential diagnosis. | ||||||||
| Skills: | The students will be able to develop individual treatment plan for a patient for the purpose of differential diagnosis; to collect purposefully a detailed anamnesis of a patient, including epidemiological anamnesis and to use the obtained data in diagnostics and differential diagnosis; to interpret, assess and analyse the results of investigations – laboratory, morpho-functional, x-ray etc. in order to give a medical diagnosis; to set up a therapeutic plan for treatment of different infectious diseases and other diseases and choose medications appropriate for providing individual therapeutic approach for each patient. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | To apply basic knowledge and skills of reasoning, logics and public speaking to communicate successfully with patients, their relatives and medical professionals as regards diagnostics, differential diagnosis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases and to provide patient care in cooperation with patients, their relatives and medical experts, while respecting patients’ rights and norms of medical ethics; to study independently and use e-health medical resources for sorting out the on-going medical issues; to assume the role of health promoter in the context of specific and non-specific prophylaxis of infectious diseases; to administer the treatment process of infectious diseases by selecting effective diagnostic methods and principles of treatment. | ||||||||
