Observation of Viruses, Bacteria, and Fungi in Clinical Skin Samples under Transmission Electron Microscopy

The highlight of this chapter is the description of the clinical manifestation and its pathogen and the host tissue damage observed under the transmission electron microscopy, which helps the clinician understand the pathogen’s ultrastructure, the change of host sub-cell structure, and helps the laboratory workers understand the pathogen-induced human skin lesions’ clinical characteristics, to establish a two-way learning exchange database with vivid images.
