ACRIDINE ORANGE STAINING OF EPITHELIAL CELLS IN STRONG SALT SOLUTION

Acridine orange staining for rapid diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis.

Acanthamoeba keratitis is uncommon, but one of the most severe infectious diseases of the cornea. Delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis as bacterial or herpes simplex keratitis leads to extensive corneal inflammation and profound visual loss. Therefore, accurate and rapid diagnosis of Acanthamoeba keratitis is essential for successful treatment and good prognosis. We evaluated the usefulness of acr...

Histochemical observations on Mycoplasma after staining with acridine orange.

Mycoplasma colonies and Mycoplasma cells in preparations from infected milk and lymph nodes were observed for their fluorescent qualities after treatment with acridine orange. Mycoplasma colonies fluoresced brilliant red or red-orange. When treated after exposure to ribonuclease, the colonies fluoresced lime-green. There was no fluorescence when both ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid w...
