PAS 501 : MICROBIOLOGY AND IMMUNOLOGY
This is a self-directed review course that provides a systematic review of the more important infectious
disease agents, principles and techniques employed in their laboratory diagnosis. There will also be
several case-based lectures during the term to supplement and reinforce the material. The course also
explores the components and response of the immune system in mounting defense against common
pathogens. Relevant pharmacotherapy and preventative measures will be examined.
