==== Part A : Importance of correct diagnosis ====

In the era of clinical diagnosis it was very important that the physician should not do only proper diagnosis but should also assess the severity of disease so he is able to provide proper treatment without causing any harm to the patient. Hence patients should have thorough physical examination and appropriate diagnostic tests.[[Vimana Sthana]] predominantly contains the diagnostic tools. The ten point examination method of drugs is also mentioned.

==== Part B: ''Krimi'' (parasitology) ====

Ayurveda describes two kinds of organisms, namely ''prakrita'' (non-pathogenic), and ''vaikrita'' (pathogenic). Also described are two categories of pathogens/parasites, namely, external and internal. The internal organisms are mainly of three categories in terms of their natural environments: those that thrive on mucus (''shleshma''), those thriving in fecal matter, and those thriving in blood. Some of these, particularly the ones thriving in fecal matter seem to be intestinal parasites while others simulate microbes. The texts repeatedly advocate protecting surgical wounds from these organisms. There is also a clear description of vector borne diseases and that diseases such as leprosy, tuberculosis, conjunctivitis and fever as contagious diseases spread by contact with other patients or vectors.
