Clinical-Laboratorial Immunohemotherapy II

Laboratory biosafety, immunology and microbiology.

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;

Recommended bibliography list for the course at the beginning of the school year

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
