Syllabus
Course Objectives
Provide the student with the basic notions in terms of training and information on the main skin and venereal diseases, through a teaching method that provides for the close correlation between the clinical picture and the histopathological alterations of the different skin diseases. In this way, starting from the concepts of basic general pathology and the definition of elementary and secondary skin lesions, it will be easier for the student to delve into the complex areas of Clinical and Histopathological Dermatology.
The student must therefore be able at the end of the course to:
• recognize the main microbial dermatoses (bacterial, viral and mycotic) and set their treatment;
• perform the differential diagnosis between the most frequent dermatoses, psoriasis, superficial mycoses, contact eczema and atopic dermatitis;
• recognize the main skin reactions from drugs;
• diagnose the main skin neoplasms and carry out effective prevention and early diagnosis;
• diagnose sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and operate effective prevention aimed at containing the infection
• recognize the main histopathological reactive patterns of the skin and know how to correlate them with clinical manifestations (spongiotic pattern / excemi, psoriasiform pattern / psoriasis and psoriasiform dermatitis, bullous pattern / autoimmune bullous dermatosis, etc, etc)
