Topics to be addressed were suggested and focus was established based on areas of perceived need for the enhanced education of all pathologists as determined by the expertise of the Program Committee members. While diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases continues to be important, this session also introduces key concepts in understanding the pathologic and pathogenetic basis for the shock syndromes induced by selected pathogens. Speakers known to be highly competent pathologists who conduct primary research in the selected areas were chosen. The objective is to educate the attendees regarding how diverse etiologic agents and pathogenetic mechanisms can result in stereotypical pathophysiologic, pathological and histopathological responses among infected persons with shock and/or hemorrhage.
