Keep up to date on pulmonary and extrapulmonary comorbidities in HIV patients with tuberculosis with this postgraduate certificate"

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a pathology that seriously affects the immune system, weakening it and making it more vulnerable to other diseases. An example of this is infection by tuberculous mycobacteria, which occurs more frequently and severely in this type of patient, affecting, above all and drastically, their pulmonary and extra pulmonary system. However, both infections have been studied for decades, so that the advances that modern medicine has made in their diagnosis and treatment allow, more and more frequently and effectively, to manage this type of clinical cases, significantly improving their quality of life.

That is why TECH has considered it necessary to compile in the postgraduate certificate all the information that allows the specialist to get up to date on everything related to the HIV-tuberculosis binomial from the epidemiological point of view. This is a degree in which they will be able to delve into the latest scientific evidence related to the characteristics of patients according to CD4 cell count, as well as the peculiarities of tuberculous meningitis and infections by other mycobacteria. In addition, the course will also provide an in-depth study of the latest diagnostic techniques and the most effective treatment guidelines.

All this, in only 150 hours distributed in 6 weeks and whose content has been compacted in a comfortable and accessible 100% online format, perfect to combine it with any other professional or personal activity. But that's not all, since the postgraduate certificate also includes additional high quality material with which the specialist will be able to deepen in the sections they consider, attending a personalized update and adapted to their requirements.
