Study Notes
Giemsa Stain
- Used to identify Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium associated with gastric ulcers and cancer.
- Effective for visualizing Trypanosomes A, the causative agents of sleeping sickness.
- Stains Plasmodium, the protozoan responsible for malaria, aiding in diagnosis.
- Also helpful in detecting Chlamydia, an intracellular bacterium that leads to various infections.
- Useful for identifying Rickettsia, bacteria transmitted through arthropod vectors.
- Applicable to Borrelia, the spirochete responsible for Lyme disease.
Ziel-Neelsen Stain (Carbol Fuchsin)
- Specifically stains Nocardia, which have mycolic acid in their cell wall, aiding in differentiation from other bacteria.
- Effective for stained Protozoa, including Cryptosporidium oocysts, commonly found in waterborne infections.
- Utilized to identify Mycobacteria, including the pathogens that cause tuberculosis.
Indie Ink Stain
- Specifically used for Cryptococcus neoformans, a yeast-like fungus known for its meningitis-related infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.
Silver Stain
- Utilized for visualizing Fungi, including Coccidioides, Pneumocystis jirovecii, and Aspergillus fumigatus, important in respiratory and systemic infections.
- Stains Bartonella Henselae, the agent of cat scratch fever, assisting in diagnostic identification.
- Effective for Helicobacter Pylori, enabling visualization in gastric specimens.
- Also applicable for detecting Legionella, which causes Legionnaires' disease, often through contaminated water sources.
Fluorescent Antibody Stain
- Used to detect Pneumocystis jirovecii, especially in patients with HIV/AIDS.
- Effective for visualizing Cryptosporidium, important in diagnosing gastrointestinal infections.
- Applicable to various Bacteria, enhancing detection with specific antibodies.
- Useful in identifying Viruses, facilitating rapid diagnosis in clinical settings.
- Helps in the visualization of Giardia, a protozoan responsible for gastrointestinal illness.
