S11C1 - INFECTIOUS DISEASES
SECTION 11
Chapter 1 (HOME)
Richard J. Reed, M.D., New Orleans, LA
You are at Section 11, Chapter 1 (HOME). This section provides a discussion of the histologic features of various, representative, infectious disorders. The conventions for moving about this section are the same as
those for the other sections, with the same exceptions for Section 14.
This section is structured in three tiers: HOME (a single chapter), a textual level (tier 2), and a pictorial level (tier 3). A clusters of blue
navigation bars in the MASTERBORDER to the left provides access to HOME and to the textual chapters at level 2 (tiers 1 & 2). The second cluster in the MASTERBORDER is beige; it provides access to the pictorials and to related (parent) textual chapters at level 2. This vertically oriented cluster is continued as a horizontal cluster of beige bars at the end of each page. Items in any of the clusters that are marked with an “-X” are textual chapters which have relevance to particular groups of pictorials. A click on a label, which includes an “-X” (an identifier for a parent textual page), will take the reader to a parent textual page at level 2. A sequence of related pictorials follows each parent page in the
beige
clusters in the MASTERBORDER and at the end of each page (the parent page being marked with an “-X);” this sequence will be broken by the appearance of the next textual page marked with an “-X” in the beige
clusters of navigation aids ( a click on the first pictorial heading following each new parent textual page will then take the reader to a new sequence of pictorials). A cluster of mauve navigation bars is present at the end of each page; these mauve
bars provide access to all the sections of the site. Two green
bars form a cluster at the end of the page; they provide access to web sites. Three additional aids to navigation are present at the end of the page. A click on one of these aids will take the reader to the NEXT
page in sequence at the level in view at the time of the click (movement is restricted; it is limited by the relationships between each parent textual page at tier 2 and groups of pictorials at tier 3). The second of these aids will take the reader
UP one level, from the pictorials at level III to the respective parent textual page at level II, or from the text at level II to HOME. There is also a BACK
button at the end of each page. In sequence, at the level in view at the time of the click, the reader will be taken back one chapter. In these horizontal navigations along tier 3, the same limitations, as
described for the forward-sequence (NEXT) button, hold for the BACK button; there is a limitation imposed by the relationship between a parent chapter at tier 2 and a group of pictorials at tier 3). The
BACK button and the NEXT
button are spatially, not temporally, active. A label at the end of each page on tiers 1 & 2 informs the reader that he is either at HOME or at level 2. If there is no label at the end of a page, then the reader is at the pictorial level. The reader’s browser will also be an aid in moving about a section; the browser’s
BACK BUTTON
is temporally active. In the text, all items, that are underlined, are also navigation aids. A click on an underlined label in the text will take the reader to a relevant pictorial on a page that will most often be a page of pictorials at level 3.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
The diseases which have been selected for discussion in this chapter are representative of a variety of etiologic agents. The tissue response may be variable from one disorder to the
next, but most general reaction patterns in the category of infectious disorders are included.
