Objectives

Describe the major immune cell types found in blood and tissue.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain how the immune system promotes homeostasis, rather than just responds to infection with host defense.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Consider the balance between physiologically beneficial immune responses versus immunopathology, fibrosis and malignancy.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain indicators and physiological implications of acute inflammation.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Identify two clinically/therapeutically relevant inflammatory cytokines.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Discuss diagnostic and therapeutic applications of immunology in medicine.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Interpret common laboratory values suggestive of ongoing inflammation (eg. CBC, ESR, CRP, ferritin).
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Describe how the body defends against pathogens.
Activity Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Introduction to Medicine

Explain how the immune system responds to infection.
General Objectives

Part 2 / Medical Foundation 2 / Hematology

Upon completion of this problem, students will be able to explain how skin forms an integral component of the immune system and the consequences of breaches in this barrier. They will be able to describe the composition of normal host flora, the classification of bacteria and explain how these bacteria can lead to infections, such as those at surgical sites, especially when facilitated by the presence of prosthetic material.
Global Objectives

Part 5 / Integration Foundation / Host Defense and Neoplasia

Upon completion of this case, students should recognize that pharyngitis is a common community-acquired viral infection usually caused by viruses and passed among close contacts either by direct contact or via droplet transmission. They should identify how viruses cause infections in the human host and the immune response to such invasion.
