BMS339 Virology, Mycology & Parasitology (16)
Prerequisite: BMS115 or MCR101
This subject has an emphasis on viral, fungal and parasitic infections of major body systems as well as multisystem and other infections (vector-borne infections, multisystem zoonoses, infections in the compromised host). The host-parasite relationship and antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic chemotherapy are also studied in detail. Practical sessions involve problems which emphasise development of specialised techniques as well as diagnosis of viral, fungal and parasitic infections.
This subject has been designed to complement other subjects in Immunology and Clinical Bacteriology.
