Minor addition

A minor addition to this content: Conventional process from patient to lab involves: 1) A tissue sample is taken of the lesion for sending to the lab. This could be an Incisional Biopsy, Excisional Biopsy or the least preferred Fine Needle Aspirate. Smear biopsies are also indicated but only for superficial infections such as oral candidosis (thrush). 2) Fixed in formalin (10% neutral buffered formalin) 3) Processed (expand this please) 4) stained with PAS or H&E in lab

Please reference this, nothing here is specific but would give people links to research further Davidmckelvey (talk) 20:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This staining method is also useful for staining fungus in various infections as they contain CHO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.242.80.233 (talk) 09:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Poor ref

Source #4<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/leukemia-stains-1</ref> that is cited is not reliable, and the web address provided does not link to the specific web page where the information is allegedly cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.224.156.58 (talk) 01:03, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. I put a {{not in citation given}} tag on it. It can be fixed or replaced by anyone who is able. I myself would not know whether the staining color mentioned is correct. Quercus solaris (talk) 22:43, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
