- Pneumocystis carinii is an opportunist which causes a diffuse interstitial pneumonia in patients with impaired immune systems.
- The disease itself can be classified as epidemic or sporadic; the latter occurring in patients who have an underlying immunosuppression.
- In this procedure, a sulfation reagent of glacial acetic acid and sulfuric acid (not included) is used for the removal of background material.
- This allows the Pneumocystis carinii cysts to be visualized more easily after staining with Toluidine Blue O.
- Diagnosis of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia can frequently be made on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or on touch preparations of pulmonary tissue (open lung biopsies and transbronchial biopsies).
- Contents: Toluidine Blue O, HCl, Ethanol, Xylene
- These solutions are made from certified dyes (when applicable).
