Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

A combination stain for acid fast bacilli and fungi is described. The method is simple and it provides a reliable method of recognizing both organisms in tissue sections simultaneously in one setting. Basically it is a combination of Beamer's modification of Fites for acid fast bacilli and Gridley's stain for fungi.
