Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of general and special epidemiology focusing on the risks of transmission of food infections. An attention is paid especially to food intoxication, specific and nonspecific alimentary diseases including parasitic etiology. A separate part is the issue of hospital hygiene and related legislation.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course the students will be able to understand and explain the process of spread of the infection and factors influencing transmission of infections.
Students will be able to use information about the current epidemiological situation.
Students will be able to create repressive anti-epidemic measures to provide outbreaks.
A graduate of the field is able to make reasoned decisions in the cumulative incidence of known infectious diseases.
Students will be able to interpret laboratory and clinical findings in relation to the risk of transmission of infection.
Syllabus
  • Goals of the epidemiology.
  • The basic knowlegde of epidemiology - understanding the epidemiological metodology (descriptive, analytic, experimental epidemiology).
  • Epidemic process; etiology and risk factors of epidemic diseases.
  • Form of sources of infection.
  • Contagiosity in particular stage of the disease.
  • Cariership of patogenic microorganisms. Animals as source of infection.
  • Transmission of infectious diseases, phases of transmission.
  • Susceptibility of the population to the infection.
  • Active and passive vaccination.
  • Natural, social-economic factors.
  • Global epidemiology, epidemiologic surveillance.
  • Programme of eradication and elimination of infectious diseases.
  • Principles of control of infectious diseases – elimination of the source, interruption of transmission of infectious agents, measures in a focus of infection.
  • Surveillance of nosocomial infections (NI), etiology NI, risk factors of aquiring NI, sources and localization NI, the principles of control NI.
  • Decontamination, disinfection and sterilization.
  • Special epidemiology
  • Epidemiological characteristics of the intestinal infections and prevention of their spreading.
  • Epidemiological characteristics of the airborne infections and prevention of their spreading.
  • Epidemiological characteristics of blood infections and prevention of their spreading.
  • Animals as sources of infection.
  • Infections of the skin and superficial mucous membrane – epidemiological characteristics and preventing their transmission.
  • Infections as occupational diseases and their prevention.
  • Infections in travelling and their prevention.
  • Epidemiological inspection in kitchen; the monitoring of the microbiological quality of the environment.
  • The control of the disinfection. Interpretation of the results.
