چکیده
In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to purchase ingredients for the preparation of various modifications of Romanowsky stains, such as Giemsa, Leishman and Wright's, at a reasonable cost; if indeed they can be obtained at all. During the past year, work has been in progress in the laboratories of the Malaria Institute of India with the object of producing a stain in which readily available ingredients can be substituted for the costlier

A Method for Preparing a Permanent Nocht's Stain (nocht-jenner Stain)
The possibility of preparing a permanent staining solution from the formulas for Nocht's (I) stain was suggested by the constant use of Jenner's (2) stain for routine blood examinations and malarial staining during the summer and fall months of ~9ox. In malarial blood the pigmented bodies of tertian fever and the crescent bodies of mstivo-autumnal fever are readily demonstrated with Jenner's st...

Although number of tests are available for rapid diagnosis and screening for malaria, peripheral blood smear examination remains the gold standar...
متن کاملModified Giemsa staining for rapid diagnosis of malaria infection.
OBJECTIVES To develop and evaluate a rapid method for the diagnosis of malaria infection by microscopy of stained blood films. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Blood specimens were collected from randomly selected confirmed malaria cases (n = 75) and suspected malaria cases (n = 175). The microscopy was done on each set of blood films stained by modified and the standard Giemsa staining methods. RESULT...
متن کاملComparative study of peripheral blood smear and quantitative buffy coat in malaria diagnosis.
A rapid test for diagnosis of malaria based on acridine orange staining of centrifuged blood samples in a microhaematocrit tube (QBC) was compared with Leishman stained thin peripheral blood smear in 287 samples. Malaria was diagnosed in 44 patients by Leishman staining technique and in 65 patients by QBC method. The QBC method allowed detection of an additional 21 cases. Thus the prevalence ra...
متن کاملModified Field's staining--a rapid stain for Trichomonas vaginalis.
Trichomonas vaginalis, a flagellate protozoan parasite commonly found in the human genitourinary tract, is transmitted primarily by sexual intercourse. Diagnosis is usually by in vitro culture method and staining with Giemsa stain. There are laboratories that use Gram stain as well. We compared the use of modified Field's (MF), Giemsa, and Gram stains on 2 axenic and xenic isolates of T. vagina...
