Identification of Intestinal Microsporidia by Trichrome Staining and Calcofluor White Methods among Kidney- Transplanted Patients in Hamadan
Abstract Background and Objective: Microsporidia is an obligatory intracellular parasite known as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients. Its laboratory diagnosis is relatively difficult and modified trichrome staining is a standard diagnostic method for detection of Microsporidia. The aim of present study was to identify intestinal Microsporidia in kidney- transplanted pat...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of modified trichrome and Uvitex 2B stains for detection of low numbers of microsporidial spores in stool specimens.
At present, the laboratory diagnosis of intestinal infections caused by microsporidia depends on the detection of the typical spores either with a modified trichrome stain (MTS) or by staining with fluorochromes. The purpose of the present study was (i) to compare staining with MTS (MTS method) and the staining with the fluorochrome Uvitex 2B (U2B method) with respect to their sensitivities and...
متن کاملComparison of Weber Green and Ryan Blue modified trichrome staining for the diagnosis of microsporidial spores from stool samples of HIV-positive patients with diarrhoea.
Microsporidia is increasingly being reported in the recent years in HIV-positive patients with diarrhoea.[1,2] Electron microscopy, though a gold standard for detection of microsporidial spores,[2] can only be used in sophisticated laboratories. Intestinal biopsy, though better, is not advocated in HIV-infected patients with diarrhoea because of its invasive nature.[3] therefore, trichrome stai...
متن کاملInvestigation of intestinal parasites in dialysis patients.
OBJECTIVE To search for the opportunistic and other pathogenic intestinal parasites in dialysis patients, and to compare the methods used for diagnosis. METHODS This is a randomized study, which recruited participants from the dialysis patients. The study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Research Hospital, School of Medicine in Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey between Jun...
متن کاملDetection of helminth ova and larvae in trichrome-stained stool smears.
The detection and identification of intestinal helminths were studied retrospectively by comparing the Formalin concentration technique with the trichrome-stained smear technique. A total of 3,997 stool samples from 1,570 patients were examined by both methods. Of the 3,997 samples, 31% (1,239 of 3,997) contained helminths or protozoans or both. A total of 11% (434 of 3,997) of the samples repr...
