Abstract
This article documents six unusual neuropathological scenarios, and discusses the practical problems in making neuro-infectious disease diagnoses in biopsy and morbid anatomy material. The infections depicted are malaria, HIV, leprosy, tuberculosis, mycosis, and larval nematodes.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
