"rapid detection of pneumocystis carini in spiratory specimens of rats by calcofluor white staining"
Authors
abstract
the present study was carried out for evaluation of calcoflour white staining (cws) as a rapid method for detection of pneumocystis carinii in respiratory specimens of rats as an animal model for human infection. a total of 35 spraque – dawley rats were divided into two groups. group1 (20 rats) received increasing doses of dexamethasone subcutaneously, and group 2(15 rats)as control group that received no immunosuppressive drugs. after immunosuppressant, all of the rats were killed and necropsy was performed. broncho-alveolar lavage (bal) and impression smears from the lungs prepared and stained by cws .the results were compared with a few standard staining methods which have already been used for p.carinii. the calcofluor white staining was found to have more validity (sensitivity and specificity) than other staining methods such as geimsa , modified geimsa and toluidine blue o ( tbo ) .the study showed the cws to be more valid , faster and easier to perform for detecting of p. carinii rganism.

Comparison of monoclonal antibody and calcofluor white stains for the detection of Pneumocystis carinii from respiratory specimens.
Three monoclonal antibody staining kits, from Genetic Systems, Disease Detection International, and Meridian Diagnostics, were compared with calcofluor white for the direct detection of Pneumocystis carinii in respiratory specimens. Of the 150 specimens tested, 23 were found positive for P. carinii by any of the four stains; 13 were bronchoalveolar lavage, 7 were induced sputum and 3 were expec...
