Comprehensive and up to date, the Second Edition of
Diagnostic Pathology: Infectious Disease,
by Dr. Richard Kradin, is an invaluable tool for the accurate diagnosis of any infectious disease―from the common to the most challenging. The organ-based format makes it an especially useful tool for surgical pathologists’ daily diagnostic and management issues. High-quality, full-color illustrations and differential diagnosis tables accompany each lesion, clearly depicting how to recognize the morphology of organisms and the spectrum of histological responses that they may cause.
Addresses the most difficult diagnostic issues
that practicing or trainee surgical pathologists face when handling infectious disease tissue specimens.
Highlights morphological characteristics and landmarks of tissue samples for
easy access to information necessary for signing out a specimen.
Emphasizes the host responses critical in differential diagnosis to
serve as a second opinion
when non-infectious diagnoses mimic and confound the diagnosis of infection.
