Tentative Infectious Diseases and Infection Control Course for Health Care Professionals (2017) Module 1 Module 1 aims to facilitate the understanding of the aetiology, transmission mechanisms and pathogenesis of common infectious agents in healthcare settings and the community. Common infectious agents: bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa and helminth Laboratory diagnosis for infectious diseases Isolation precautions Epidemiology of Infectious diseases and outbreak investigation Chain of infection, host defense mechanisms and the Immune response to infectious diseases. Immunization programmes Antimicrobial-resistant pathogens associated with Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) Common gastrointestinal tract infections Emerging infectious diseases Respiratory tract infections Airborne infections Infections of the nervous system Microbiology Laboratory. Demonstration of major pathogens, identification and culture. Agar plate finger printing Sexually transmitted diseases Blood-borne pathogens Counselling of victims with exposure to blood-borne pathogens Infectious diseases in pregnancy & nursing management Common community-acquired infections Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) Sepsis 1 Module 2 Module 2 will enhance students’ awareness of infection control concepts and current guidelines on infection prevention and control.
