Preventive Medicine and Bacteriology
Immunology: This course is designed to amplify the introduction to immunology
given in the regular course in Bacteriology during the first year. During
the third and fourth years the student has become acquainted with clinical
medicine. It is desirable to review the factors concerned in resistance to infection
and the scientific background for the treatment of infectious diseases. By
means of conferences and laboratory assignments the student is given an opportunity
to perform and observe some of the characteristic phenomena in test tube and in
the experimental animal. Special attention is given to those biologic reactions
which are of value in the diagnosis or treatment of disease such as the Wassermann
reaction, the Kahn reaction, agglutination technique, standardization of
antitoxic sera, etc.
