Main description:

Pathology is a rapidly expanding and ever changing field which forms the foundation for understanding diseases. Undergraduates can find it difficult to revise all aspects of the subject due its breadth. Exam Prepatory Manual for Undergraduates: General & Systemic Pathology provides basic pathological information in a nutshell.

This book consists of 23 chapters organised into two sections; general pathology and systemic pathology. Each section gives insight into etiology, pathogenesis, pathology and the disease course. Its highly illustrated, simple format provides a perfect revision tool for undergraduate pathology examinations.
