The reliability of periodic acid-Schiff staining in the diagnosis of onychomycosis.
Sir, We read with great interest the article on Comparison of potassium hydroxide mount and mycological culture with histopathological examination using periodic acid-Schiff staining of nail clippings in a recent issue of IJDVL.[1] The authors findings about high sensitivity of periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining in the diagnosis of onychomycosis is consistent with previous studies on the su...
متن کاملComparison of potassium hydroxide mount and mycological culture with histopathologic examination using periodic acid-Schiff staining of the nail clippings in the diagnosis of onychomycosis.
BACKGROUND Onychomycosis is a common problem noticed in clinical practice. Currently available standard laboratory methods show inconsistent sensitivity; hence there is a need for newer methods of detection. AIMS This study involves comparison of standard laboratory tests in the diagnosis of onychomycosis, namely, potassium hydroxide mount (KOH mount) and mycological culture, with histopathol...
متن کامل[Onychomycosis frequency in psoriatic patients in a tertiary care hospital].
BACKGROUND The changes in psoriatic nails can closely resemble an onychomycosis. Therefore, the fungal infection may be underdiagnosed. It was investigated the frequency of mycosis in fingernails and toenails in 150 patients with psoriasis in a dermatology department. METHODS The clinical data suggestive of onychomycosis were investigated. Nail scales were obtained and cultured on Sabouraud d...
متن کاملDetecting glycogen in peripheral blood mononuclear cells with periodic acid schiff staining.
Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining is an immunohistochemical technique used on muscle biopsies and as a diagnostic tool for blood samples. Polysaccharides such as glycogen, glycoproteins, and glycolipids stain bright magenta making it easy to enumerate positive and negative cells within the tissue. In muscle cells PAS staining is used to determine the glycogen content in different types of mus...
متن کاملModified technique for periodic acid-Schiff staining of glycoproteins on agarose-film electrophoretograms.
We have modified the periodic acid-Schiff staining technique for glycoproteins for use with thin agarose-film electrophoresis membranes. With this procedure, carbohydrate-rich proteins can be detected with negligible background staining and insignificant staining of nonglycoproteins such as albumin and nonglycosylated Bence Jones proteins (free light chains). On the other hand, carbohydrate-ric...
