Gynecology and Obstetrics Pathology

Infectious Pathology

Infectious Pathology focuses on the study of infections affecting the female reproductive system, pregnancy, and maternal-fetal health. It includes bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections that may influence fertility, pregnancy outcomes, and newborn health. Accurate pathological evaluation helps identify infection-related tissue changes and supports appropriate treatment strategies. Advances in molecular diagnostics, microbiological testing, and immunological methods have improved detection and understanding of infectious diseases. This area explores the impact of infections such as HPV, sexually transmitted infections, and pregnancy-associated infections. Collaboration between pathologists, infectious disease specialists, and obstetricians supports effective prevention, diagnosis, and management. Research continues to improve strategies for protecting maternal health and reducing infection-related complications.
