| Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected by direct microscopic visualization of the samples, which had been concentrated by formalin--ethyl acetate sedimentation and stained with a modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain. When a section did not have AFB bacilli, additional tissue specimens with approximately the same dimensions as the first were embedded in paraffin and studied with H&E and Ziehl-Neelsen stains. They were stained with routine Ziehl-Neelsen stain and cultured by standard procedures (15) by using a combination of radiometric Bactec system (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, Sparks, MD) and Lowenstein-Jensen medium. |
