Non-specific urethritis investigated by Ziehl-Neelsen staining of the urethral discharge.
The first description of abacterial urethritis is attributed to Guiard (1897) and his observation was confirmed by Barlow (1899) who also reported that contagious discharges could occur in which no organisms were detectable. Conventionally, when cases of non-gonococcal urethritis are examined by Gram-stained smears, if no organisms are seen the discharge is termed "abacterial"; if a mixture of ...

METHODOLOGY WE APPLIED THE FOLLOWING APPROACH: We (1) examined a paragonimiasis index case's sputum with wet film direct examination (WF) and ZNS; (2) re-examined stored ZNS slides from two provinces; (3) compared prospectiv...
متن کاملAcriflavine as a Counter-Stain in the Ziehl-Neelsen Method of Staining
a strength of 1:500 with distilled water, and the process of staining is carried out exactly in the same way as that described under the above method, except that acriflavine in the abovementioned strength is used instead of methylene blue. I use the counter-stain for half to one minute. To obtain the best results, all the detail in the careful preparation and fixation of smears, as well as the...
متن کاملModified detergent Ziehl-Neelsen technique for the staining of Cyclospora cayetanensis.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a cause of prolonged diarrhoea, mainly in travellers. Laboratory diagnosis may be achieved by a number of methods such as the staining of faecal smears by the modified Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) technique. Safer methods using this technique have been described for the staining of acid fast bacilli and cryptosporidia by replacing the phenol content of the carbol fuschin stain ...
متن کاملZiehl–Neelsen in Schistosomiasis: Much More than Staining the Shell and Species Identification
The Ziehl–Neelsen (ZN) stain, also known as the acidfast stain, has been reported to be helpful in detection and identification of Schistosoma eggs. In histological sections, Schistosoma mansoni egg shells appear as ZN positive and Schistosoma haematobium shells as ZN negative. The staining target of the responsible ZN component (carbolfuchsin) in the shell is unknown. Because carbolfuchsin is ...
