Aim	The aim of the Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology clerkship is to give 5th-year medical students an idea about how to diagnose most frequent community-acquired infections and treat them as outpatients. As primary care physicians they should be able to provide preventive measures for infectious diseases when required and transfer the patient to a tertiary care facility. Another aim is to train physicians who are able to manage emergency infectious cases.
Course Content	This course contains; Microbiology Update,Prudent Laboratory Practices in Infectious Diseases,Differential Diagnosis in Infectious Diseases,Approach to the acute fever patient with community acquired infection,Antimicrobial stewardship in community-acquired infections,Prevention and control of community-acquired infections,Disinfection, antisepsis and sterilization in daily practice,Differential diagnosis and treatment principles of Infectious disease emergencies,Fever of unknown origin,HIV – AIDS,Principles of Central Nervous System Infections,Sepsis and septic shock,Approach to the patient with diarrhea,New and emerging infectious diseases,Extrapulmonary TB,Rabies: Clinical features, diagnosis and prevention,Sexually Transmitted Diseases: diagnosis, treatment, prevention,Adult immunization: vaccination and immunoprophylaxis,Urinary Tract Infections,Traveller's health and related infections,Tetanus: clinical features, treatment and prevention,Skin and soft tissue infections and diabetic foot,Cellulitis,Antimicrobial agents used in community-acquired infections,Bone and joint infections,Zoonotic infections,Tick borne Infections: CCHF, Tick encephalitis, Lyme Disease,Upper respiratory Tract Infections: Influenza, mononucleosis syndrome, common cold,Immigration and infection,Clinically important parasitic infections,Acute viral hepatits,Prevention and control of healthcare related infections,Intraabdominal infections.
