AP112 Pathologic Diagnosis of Infectious

Diseases: New Strategies and Challenges

Course DirectorSherif R. Zaki, M.D., Ph.D.

2

Course Objectives

• Differentiate between infectious and non-infectious processes

• Design syndromic approach to diagnosis of infectious diseases

• Compare histopathologic, special stains, immunohistochemical testing and molecular methods and make a rational decision on which methods to use in your practice

3

Course Objectives• Decide which criteria/tests

(histopathology, special stains, IHC, etc) are applicable to achieve specific diagnoses

• Determine if testing can be performed in your laboratory vs. specialty laboratory

• Discuss clinical history, pathologic examination and epidemiologic analysis that might prompt consideration of a bioterrorism event or of an emerging disease

Factors in the Emergence of Infectious Diseases• Human demographics and behavior• Technology and Industry• Economic development and land use• International travel and commerce• Microbial adaptation and change• Breakdown of public health measures• Deliberate disseminationFrom Institute of Medicine, 1992

9

Infectious Disease Pathology and Public Health• Pathologists among first health care workers

to encounter infectious disease outbreaks• Pathologists are in excellent position to

discover emerging infectious diseases• Collaborative research

– Epidemiologists– Clinicians– Veterinarians– Microbiologists

10

Infectious Disease Pathology and Public Health• Many examples of recent emerging

infectious diseases diagnosed through autopsies

• Autopsy is increasingly being viewed as an effective surveillance tool– Pathologic specimens can serve as

sentinel indicators of emerging pathogens

11

Recent Global Challenges to Public Health (CDC)

• 93 - Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome – U.S.• 94 - Plague/leptospirosis – India• 95 - Leptospirosis – Nicaragua• 95-01 -VHFs (Ebola, Lassa, RVF) – Africa, Asia• 96 - Typhus – Burundi• 97 - H5N1 Influenza – Hong Kong• 98-99 - Enterovirus 71 - Malaysia, Taiwan• 98 - Plague – Ecuador• 99 - Nipah virus – Malaysia, Singapore• 99-04 -West Nile virus – U.S.• 00 - Rift Valley – Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Yemen• 01 - Anthrax – U.S.• 03 - SARS – Global• 03 - Monkeypox – U.S.• 03-04 - Pediatric Influenza Deaths – U.S.• 02-04 – Emerging viral infections in transplant recipients – U.S.

12

Syndromic Approach to Diagnosis of Emerging Infectious Diseases

• Hemorrhagic Fevers – Hantavirus, Lassa, Malaria,Anthrax

• Cutaneous Rash – Monkeypox, Rickettsialpox• Pneumonia – SARS, influenza• Encephalitis – WNV, Nipah• Transplant (Immunosuppressed) – WNV, LCM,

Rabies

13

Syndromic Approach to Diagnosis of Emerging Infectious Diseases

• Histopathologic pattern• Laboratory approach

– Culture– Serology– EM– IHC– Molecular

Summary

• Era of increased awareness of emerging and reemerging diseases

• Fundamental principle is recognition of these diseases

• Importance of multidisciplinary approach• Importance of syndromic approach• Importance of traditional laboratory and

contemporary methods• Frontline role of pathology

– Recognition of emerging infectious diseases– Guiding epidemiologic investigations– BT investigations
