Seminar description:
Respiratory infections, including COVID-19 Diagnosis and management.
This is the most common morbidity in our moderate, sea climate; especially in young children. Weather influences but also genetic factors such as allergies, act on our susceptibility. Asthma has been increasing steadily over the last decades. Which factors play a role here?
Annually many people die of the flu, which is transmitted by air. Also, chronic diseases such as COPD, and cancer, will be addressed, as well as the current ‘flu’, the corona epidemic.
What are the main principles in epidemics management, and what is the relationship between the type of microbe and transmission?
The course is given in a participatory manner, so all are invited to send/ present some typical cases they saw, for questions and discussion with a colleague. From there we can learn all from each other’s experience.
