PATHOLOGY Pathos (suffering or disease) logos (science) Pathology is the study of structural and functional changes of body in disease, including changes in cell, tissues, organs and body fluids. Pathology forms a bridge between basic studies of Anatomy, Physiology, biochemistry and clinical subjects of Medicine and Surgery

DISEASE French word “Des” (away) “aise” (ease) it is a condition in which the

DISEASE French word “Des” (away) “aise” (ease) it is a condition in which the individual suffers from discomfort i. e. not at harmony with its environment.

Lesion It is the abnormal structural or functional change in the body as a result of disease and may be detected by gross (necropsy), microscopic (histopathology) or biochemical methods (clinical pathology). PATHOGNOMONIC LESION An alternation that indicates without doubt the cause of a particular disease e. g. finding of Negri bodies in rabies etc

PATHOGENESIS It is a progressive development of a disease process from its initiation to conclusion in recovery or death. Disease is a dynamic process which progresses from molecular or bio-chemical alternations to structural (ultrastructural, microscopic and gross lesions) and to functional changes which are seen as signs and symptoms of disease.

DIAGNOSIS It is the identification of disease through the clinical examination and application of various laboratory tests. A pathological diagnoses should include lesions, etiology (cause) pathogenesis and clinical consequences. Prognosis • It is the estimation of the clinician or pathologist regarding the expected outcome of disease like favorable, guarded or grave ete

Etiology It is a study of the causes of disease. An etiologic agent induces cell and tissue injury leading to clinical manifestations of disease There are numerous causes of disease which are divided into 1. 2. Exogenous (Environmental or extrinsic factors) Intrinsic Internal defects

(INFECTIOUS AGENTS, PATHOGENS, MICROORGANISMS) These are diverse group of biological agents, ranging from a few nm to a few meters in size. The disease producing biological agents mostly have a parasitic mode of life and include prions, viruses, chlamydia, rickettsia, mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and metazoa.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROBIOLOGICAL AGENTS Biological associations and relationships. Commensals: coexistence without injury or benefit

CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROBIOLOGICAL AGENTS Biological associations and relationships. Commensals: coexistence without injury or benefit Symbiotic: Mutually beneficial coexistence. Example: microflora and fauna in the rumen and colon of herbivores and E. coli in the gut of humans producing vit. K. Parasitic/Predators: causing morbidity and mortality in the host (man and animals)
