A Comparison of Ziehl-Neelsen Staining and Fluorescent Microscopy for Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
According to WHO one third of the world population have tuberculosis. The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of flurochrome(FI) stain with conventional Z-N stain in the diagnosis of pulmonary & extrapulmonary tuberculosis. 388 cases of suspected pulmonary tuberculosis were included in the study. All samples were screen for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) by Z-N & Fluorescent staining ...
