Obiettivi Formativi
On successful completion of the module, students will be able to
demonstrate:
Knowledge and Understanding
LO.1 Describe the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic
approaches and principles of treatment of common bacterial, viral
and parasitic infections.
LO.2 Explain the mechanisms of action and clinical use of the main
antimicrobial agents, including antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic
therapies.
Applying Knowledge and Understanding
LO.3 Recognise common infectious disease presentations and apply
a syndromic approach to the diagnosis and management of
infections affecting different organ systems.
LO.4 Integrate clinical findings, laboratory investigations and
microbiological information to support the diagnosis and treatment of
infectious diseases.
Making Judgements
LO.5 Evaluate clinical information to support appropriate diagnostic
and therapeutic decisions in patients with common infectious
diseases.

Metodi didattici
Teaching is delivered through face-to-face lectures, clinical case
presentations, seminars and, where appropriate, bedside teaching during
infectious disease ward rounds.
Lectures provide the theoretical foundations required to understand the
epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches and treatment of
common infectious diseases, including the principles of antimicrobial therapy
(LO.1–LO.2).
Clinical case discussions allow students to apply a syndromic approach to
infectious diseases by integrating clinical presentation, microbiological
findings and therapeutic strategies (LO.3–LO.5).
Bedside teaching during infectious disease ward activities provides
opportunities to observe the clinical application of diagnostic and therapeutic
principles and to discuss real patient cases under supervision (LO.3–LO.5).
Students may also participate in the presentation of selected clinical cases and scientific papers during journal club activities, supporting the application
of evidence-based approaches to infectious disease management.

Contenuti
The Infectious Diseases B module introduces students to the clinical
management of common infectious diseases, focusing on their
epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. The
module emphasises the application of a syndromic approach to infectious
diseases affecting different organ systems.
The programme includes the following topics:
Principles of Infectious Disease Management
Review of the classification of microorganisms relevant to human
disease, including viruses, bacteria and parasites.
Main antimicrobial agents, including antibacterial, antiviral and
antiparasitic drugs, and their mechanisms of action.
Principles of diagnosis and clinical management of infectious
diseases.
Syndromic Approach to Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases of the central nervous system.
Respiratory tract infections.
Gastrointestinal tract infections.
Urinary tract infections.
Sexually transmitted diseases other than syphilis.
Specific Clinical Infections
Urinary tract infections and their clinical management.
Sexually transmitted infections.
Prosthetic joint infections.
Other clinically relevant bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, with
emphasis on diagnosis and treatment.
