In this special edition of Pathology Focus, three of our expert pathologists, Dr Stella Pendle, Dr Linda Dreyer, and Dr Sudha Pottumarthy-Boddu, present case studies that highlight the importance of clinicians remaining alert to the systemic (non-genital) manifestations of STIs. Associate Professor Mirette Saad explores the clinical utility of pharmacogenetic testing for personalised patient care, particularly in the areas of mental health, pain management, cardiology, and oncology. The newsletter concludes with an article by Dr David Deam about the new Medicare item for BNP testing for the exclusion of a diagnosis of heart failure, that broadens the range of clinical situations in which the test can be ordered.
