Connect Sign InBeyond A, B, and C: Emerging and Reemerging Infections in the Liver
In the dynamic field of infectious disease pathology, pathologists play a pivotal role in the diagnosis of emerging and reemerging infections. This interactive lecture describes the histopathologic features of several emerging and reemerging infections that involve the liver and describes how to synthesize clinical and laboratory data to narrow the differential diagnosis of active hepatitis and select appropriate ancillary tests. Two of the case presentations will also help pathologists expand the differential diagnosis of hepatic granulomata, while one of the cases will provide key updates on an emerging infection that may be underdiagnosed in the United States.
