Human disease is a complex systemic event, the theoretical analysis of which requires application of the methodological appratus of investigation. As such, the authors used the concept of Marxist-Leninist determinism.

Analysis of human diseases from the position of the Marxist-Leninist theory of determinism is one of the basic problems of the theory of pathology. A logical analysis of evolutionary, systemic, morphological and causative determinism is given which characterizes on the whole human diseases.
