Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of mortality and disability (i.e. the loss of a productive life) in the world. In 2016, of the 56.4 million total deaths worldwide, 33% were due to infectious diseases, 30% to cardiovascular diseases and 10% as a result of cancer. The fight against disease can be separated into two categories: infectious diseases and chronic non-communicable diseases.

From the 17.3 million people who died from infection diseases in 2016, the most frequent causes of death were lower respiratory infections (3.7 million), malaria (2.2 million), tuberculosis (1.3 million), diarrhea (1.4 million), and HIV/AIDS infection (1.1 million). The most important factors to take into consideration regarding infectious diseases are demographics and human behavior, technological and industrial development, economic development and the variations in land use, intercontinental travelling and commerce, climate change, microbiotic adaptation and finally the disappearance or reduction of efficient public health measures.

These factors mean that it would be wrong to consider any part of the planet to be isolated enough from the rest, nor the appearance, reappearance or dissemination of imported or apparently eradicated infectious diseases in our environment to be impossible. 

This century’s complex international epidemiological situation, so far exemplified by the deliberate release of Bacillus anthracis spores as a bioweapon which causes pulmonary anthrax in victims when inhaled, the emergence of West Nile virus as a pathogen in the United States, the SARS epidemic, the zoonotic spread of monkeypox in the United States, the threat of pandemic influenza, the Ebola epidemic in Africa, the emergence of yellow fever cases in Angola, coupled with the re-emergence of Dengue and Cholera.The emergence of new arboviruses in locations like Chikungunya and more recently Zika in the Americas.Together with the mortality rate from other endemic infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, community-acquired pneumonia and our increased resistance to antibiotics with the development of multidrug-resistant bacteria, all of which highlight the need for professionals with specialist expertise in order to raise the performance levels of all the personnel needed to face up to the challenges involved in controlling and dealing with biological, hospital and public health emergencies and provide a higher standard of health care the world over..

Postgraduate Diploma in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Viral Infections

Viral infections can affect different parts of the body and can cause diseases such as influenza, herpes, hepatitis, HIV and COVID-19. For the diagnosis and treatment of viral infections, different approaches are used depending on the disease in question.

The initial diagnosis of a viral infection usually involves a clinical evaluation of the patient and the presenting symptoms, as well as a review of the patient's medical history, travel history, among others. Specific tests such as blood tests, urine tests, nasal and throat swab tests may be performed to detect the presence of specific viruses in the body.

Once a viral infection has been diagnosed, treatment may include a variety of options depending on the disease. Treatments for viral infections may include antiviral medications, symptomatic medications to relieve symptoms, and in some cases, respiratory or other support to improve symptoms and allow the body to fight the infection.

In addition to medications, viral infections can also be prevented by vaccination, practicing good personal hygiene and adopting healthy habits that enhance the body's immunity.

The diagnosis and treatment of viral infections depends on the type of infection present. A physician should always be consulted for proper diagnosis and treatment. Antiviral medications and other treatments can help fight the infection, while preventive measures, such as vaccination and personal hygiene, can help prevent infection in the first place.

This program is designed for pharmacists, physicians and other healthcare professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the diagnosis and treatment of viral infections. Upon graduation, students will be prepared to work in hospitals, clinics or laboratories that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of viral infections.
