OCOM 606 - Infection and Immunity
This course uses lectures and labs to introduce students to basic principles of microbial pathogenesis and immune defenses against infectious or immune-mediated causes of elevated temperature, sore throat, skin lesions and leukocytosis. The course focuses on the histological features and functions of immune tissues and skin, including healing processes of the integumentary system; mechanisms of oncogenesis and the classification and clinical characteristics of leukemias and lymphomas; pharmacological agents, nutritional influences, epidemiological principles, preventive medicine/public health issues, and psychosocial issues relevant to these infectious or immune-mediated issues; and the physiological regulation of body temperature and mechanisms that alter it.
