Clinical-Laboratorial Immunohemotherapy II

Base Knowledge

Laboratory biosafety, immunology and microbiology.

Teaching Methodologies

The theoretical classes aim at the detailed presentation of the syllabus. They use an active expository methodology, in Portuguese or English, appealing to the direct intervention of the students, which favourably favours an abundant iconography over the merely theoretical-descriptive teaching. The practical classes will contribute to the resolution and discussion of practical problems, individual execution of the techniques and group discussion of the results obtained;

Learning Results

Know the main characteristics of viruses, their classification, entrance doors, transmission routes, signals
and symptoms of a viral infection
– Know the viral liver diseases transmissible by transfusion and retrovirus infection such as HIV and HTLV
– Understand the main clinical and laboratory manifestations essential in the diagnosis of viral infections
transmissible by transfusion
– Know how to apply global knowledge about virology and know the main infectious complications of
blood transfusion
-Execute, validate and interpret the laboratory results of the techniques and methods taught in the screening,
confirmation of infection, quantification and viral load and monitoring of patients infected by viruses
-To deepen your knowledge of virology
– Know how to screen for other pathologies transmitted through the transfusion of blood components.
-Determine the knowledge in the virology area, which qualifies them for clinical laboratory practice

Grading Methods

Theoretical classes aim a detailed presentation of the syllabus. An expositive-active methodology is used, in Portuguese or English, appealing to the direct intervention of the students, clearly favoring an abundant iconography to the detriment of merely theoretical-descriptive teaching.

Practical classes will contribute to the resolution and discussion of practical problems, individual execution of techniques and group discussion of the results obtained;

Written support of the material taught in each class.

List of recommended bibliography for the subject at the beginning of the school year is proposed.

The evaluation is continuous, it will be carried out at several different moments:

1. Theoretical component evaluation will be carried out in two different moments:
- Working group with the weight of 30%

- Frequency weighing 70%


2. Evaluation of the Laboratory Practice component will be carried out in three different moments:

- Know / be, know / do and know / know with the weight of 50%
- Attendance with a weight of 25%

- Laboratory work on a previously assigned topic with a weight of 25%,

Any component and subcomponent of Theoretical Evaluation and Laboratory Practice must have a final grade equal to or higher than 10 (ten) values.
The final classification will be the weighted average of the theoretical assessment (70%) and the assessment of laboratory practice (30%).

The approval in the discipline is obtained with a classification equal to or higher than 10 (ten) values, resulting from the weighted average of the classifications obtained in the various moments of evaluation.

The assessment can also be done with a written and practical exam, with the same structure as the frequencies, during the periods designated for this purpose.
