  1. Infection, Inflammation and Repair (MEDC0005)

Description

Infection, inflammation and repair underpin much of human pathology, and the study of these processes is an essential part of understanding human disease. This module will explore the body's response to bacterial, viral or parasitic infection, and how infections are eradicated. Inflammation is caused by a variety of insults, and may be acute or may become chronic leading to fibrosis and scarring of tissue. This module will cover these processes with direct clinical examples e.g. the formation of an abscess, pneumonia or the development of cirrhosis to illustrate how they lead to certain diseases. This module will also cover basic immunology. Students will learn about the use of drugs including antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and immunosuppression. The compulsory Molecular Basis of Disease module will cover these processes in greater depth in Year 2.
