Basic Pathology : An Introduction to the Mechanisms of Disease

This best-selling textbook provides a lively introduction to pathology for students of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and other health professions.



The book explores the basic mechanisms that a student must understand in order to make sense of clinical medicine, and in addition, covers all aspects of the science underlying disease processes, integrating the topics covered within a clinical setting.



Entirely updated in line with recent changes in the curriculum, the third edition retains the much-praised clinical scenarios, historical anecdotes, key points boxes and revision notes from the previous edition. Restructured into four major sections, the text highlights the key mechanisms and their interplay in producing symptoms, signs and disease
