Part of the highly regarded Diagnostic Pathology series and written by
Danny A. Milner, Jr., MD, this updated volume covers all aspects of
infectious disease pathology, including anatomic manifestations and
how to ensure a complete and accurate sign out at the microscope.
Concise, focused chapters, supported by thousands of high-quality
images, make this second edition an excellent point-of-care resource
for pathologists at all levels of experience and training-both as a
quick reference and as an efficient review to improve knowledge and
skills.
- Provides essential information by organism type (virus, bacteria,
fungi, and parasite), further divided by those organisms that can be
diagnosed on histological appearance, to help you quickly and

coenurosis, and more, as well as new material on approaching emerging
infections with a biosafety/notification focus
- Features additional figures and diagrams to help with rare
organism identification, and new details on an algorithmic approach to
identification
- Includes coverage of iatrogenic immunosuppression and organism
correlations, explanatory life cycles with emphasis on when pathology
occurs, updated diagnostics sections on molecular testing, and
diagrammatic correlations of viruses with accompanying electron
microscope imagery
- Contains time-saving features such as bulleted text, annotated
images, reference tables, and more
- Offers Key Facts that highlight the quick criteria needed for
diagnosis or evaluation at the time of a procedure
