Identifying Parasites in Tissues and Cytologic Specimens

Many parasites are considered “tropical diseases” so depending upon where you are in the world, you may not have a chance to diagnose parasitic infections with any degree of frequency. But maintaining ongoing competency in making an accurate diagnosis of a parasitic infection can therefore be challenging, explains UK Medicine pathologist Dr. Julie Ribes in this CAPcast. Dr. Ribes will be leading a CAP19 course on this topic entitled, “Case-Based Identification of Parasites in Tissues and Cytologic Specimens: on Sept. 21 in Orlando, Florida.
