These slides cover a range of topics from: common viruses and how they present, vaccines, adult and child immunisation, childhood milestones, and innate and adaptive immunity
ACMA Case 9: Immunology
Summary
In this engaging and interactive immunology course, medical professionals can test and expand their knowledge on viruses, vaccines, adult and child immunisation, childhood milestones, and more! Starting with basic quizzes and providing in-depth answers, this session covers various topics including the presentation of certain viruses, vaccination schedules, age-specific conditions, developmental red flags and more. Interactive cases provide a real-world application of the information. Whether you need a refresher or want to learn something new, our on-demand teaching session delivers vital information in a digestible format.
Description
Learning objectives
- By the end of the session, learners will know and understand the presentation of various viruses, including HSV and HPV.
- Learners will be able to identify common causes of meningitis in different age groups.
- Learners will know, understand, and remember the vaccination schedule for children and know which vaccines are allowed for individuals who have undergone a splenectomy.
- Learners will be familiar with the red flags for developmental milestones.
- Learners will have a broad understanding of the innate and adaptive immune response, cell-mediated and humoral immune responses.

This explains why we need multiple doses of vaccines for them to be the most effective. Which mechanism is involved in producing these antibodies A. Class switching B. Somatic C. Darwinian selction hypermutation D. Deamination E. VDJ recombinationCorrect: B well done Click for explanation• Changes the variable region of the antibody • Introduces point mutation to the gene • Generating a diverse pool of b CELLS WITH VARYING ANTIGEN BINDING AFFINITIES.
