About Us

The current  Department of Human Pathology  was initially constituted as a Department of Pathology and Microbiology in 1967 to service the then newly established medical school within the University College  Nairobi. The University college Nairobi  was at that time   a constituent college of the University of East Africa. The Department was started through international collaboration with The Royal Infirmary Glasgow Medical School, UK.   Microbiology later separated from Pathology in the 1975 -1979 period  to become the present Department of Medical Microbiology.

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a hot feeling or sensation which can affect your tongue, lips, palate, or areas all over your mouth. BMS is sometimes called ‘glossodynia'. You get this feeling when there are changes in the way the nerves in your mouth send messages to your brain - for example, about taste and temperature. When your brain doesn't understand these messages properly it can cause the feeling of pain or burning.
