Full Description
This examination emphasizes the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of antifungal agents used to treat various fungal infections. Students will be required to discuss the different classes of antifungal drugs and their specific targets.
Antifungal agents play a critical role in addressing systemic and superficial fungal infections. A thorough understanding of these drugs is essential for effective treatment strategies and minimizing adverse effects.
The verbal assessment will evaluate the ability of students to explain the mode of action, spectrum of activity, and resistance mechanisms associated with clinical antifunfgal applications.
Students may also address current challenges in antifungal therapy, including emerging resistant strains and treatment failures.
