Book excerpt: Essential Clinical Pathology covers the whole of a clinical pathology course, approaching disease by system and concentrating on how the biological and physical manifestations of disease correlate with the underlying abnormalities and physiological disturbances. The book explains the processes within the body that result in the signs and symptoms of disease by investigating the biochemistry, bacteriology, virology, haematology, and immunology of disease around a core of histopathology and morbid anatomy. The book begins with an introduction to laboratory medicine and then proceeds to investigate the pathology of all the individual systems.
