The document summarizes the Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique used to identify acid-fast bacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The technique involves staining a smear with carbol fuchsin, heating to allow the stain to penetrate the waxy cell walls, washing with acid to decolorize non-acid fast cells, and counterstaining with methylene blue. Acid fast bacteria will appear bright pink against a blue background under the microscope. The document also describes the Kinyoun cold staining method and provides grading scales used to report acid fast bacilli observations.stains

This document discusses the preparation and staining of blood films, which is an important investigation in hematology. It describes how Romanowsky stains like Wright's, Leishman, Giemsa, and Jenner's stains are commonly used to differentially stain components of blood cells. Specifically, it provides details on the preparation and staining procedures for Leishman's stain and Giemsa's stain, the most frequently used stains. An optimal pH of 6.8 is recommended for staining all components when using Romanowsky stains.Z n staining

The document discusses the Ziehl-Neelsen staining technique, which is used to identify acid-fast bacteria such as Mycobacterium, Actinomycetes, and Nocardia. The staining method uses carbol fuchsin as the primary stain, along with heat to aid penetration. Acid-alcohol is used as a decolorizer, followed by methylene blue as the counterstain. Mycobacterium and other acid-fast bacteria will retain the pink carbol fuchsin stain due to their thick, waxy cell walls containing mycolic acid. This allows them to be differentiated from other non-acid fast bacteria that will take on the blue methylene blue counterstainDecalcification

This document discusses the process of decalcification, which is the removal of calcium salts from bones and calcified tissues. There are four main methods: 1) using simple dilute mineral acids like nitric acid or formic acid; 2) ion exchange resins with acid fluids; 3) electrolytic decalcification using electrodes; and 4) chelating agents like EDTA that bind calcium ions. The document provides details on procedures and advantages/disadvantages of each method.Dec provocation test (lymphatic filiarisis)

This document discusses the diethylcarbamazine (DEC) provocation test used to diagnose lymphatic filariasis. It notes that the parasites that cause lymphatic filariasis (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori) show nocturnal periodicity, appearing in blood between 10pm-2am. The DEC test stimulates these microfilariae, causing them to appear in peripheral blood within 30-45 minutes of an oral DEC dose, allowing diagnosis during the day instead of collecting a night blood sample. The test has high sensitivity, but is contraindicated where Loa loa or Onchocerca volvulus infectionsConcentration techniques for feacal examination

The document discusses techniques for stool examination including qualitative and quantitative methods. For qualitative examination, simple smear and Kato-Katz techniques are described. Quantitative methods include Stoll's dilution egg count and Kato-Katz technique. The Kato-Katz technique involves pressing a fixed amount of stool (typically 41.7 mg) through a cellophane filter, then examining the filter under a microscope to identify and count parasites. Concentration techniques like sedimentation, flotation in brine, sugar solution, or zinc sulfate are used to detect parasites that may otherwise be missed on direct smear.Vibrio the organism and laboratory diagnosis

- Vibrio are Gram-negative, curved rods or comma-shaped bacteria that are highly motile due to single polar flagella. The most important member is Vibrio cholerae, which causes the disease cholera.
- V. cholerae was first isolated from cholera patients in Egypt in 1883. It produces a heat-labile enterotoxin that increases intracellular cAMP, causing a massive loss of water and electrolytes from the intestines.
- Other medically important Vibrio species include V. paraheamolyticus and V. vulnificus, which are halophilic and can cause food poisoning or wound infections associated with marine environments.Shigella.ppt

Shigella is a genus that primarily infects the human intestine and causes bacillary dysentery or shigellosis, characterized by bloody, mucopurulent stools. The species include Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei, with varying virulence and cultural characteristics. Diagnosis involves stool culture, while treatment typically requires rehydration and antibiotics based on strain sensitivity, with preventive measures focused on hygiene and food safety.Anaerobic jar

Pneumococcus, or Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause pneumonia. It appears in pairs under the microscope (diplococci) and each pair is enclosed in a polysaccharide capsule. It grows best at 37属C in an atmosphere containing carbon dioxide. On blood agar plates it forms alpha-hemolytic colonies. The capsule protects it from phagocytes and allows it to attach to cells in the nasopharynx before migrating to the lungs. This can cause lobar pneumonia in adults and bronchopneumonia in children. Diagnosis involves finding the bacteria in sputum or other samples through microscopy, culture, and serological tests. Treatment involves antibiotics like penicillin andOpportunistic coccidian parasites

Wuchereria bancrofti is a parasitic roundworm that causes lymphatic filariasis, commonly known as elephantiasis. It is transmitted by mosquitoes and infects over 120 million people globally, causing swelling and damage to the lymphatic system over time. The adult worms live in the human lymph vessels and can cause lymphedema, elephantiasis, and tropical pulmonary eosinophilia syndrome in some infected individuals. Diagnosis involves blood sampling to look for microfilariae or detect circulating filarial antigens, while treatment consists of antifilarial drugs like diethylcarbamazine or ivermectin. Prevention focuses on avoiding mosquito bites through protective clothing and repellentsHerpesviruses

Mycobacterium leprae is the causative agent of leprosy. It is an acid-fast, non-motile bacillus that can be identified microscopically in skin and nerve smears stained with Ziehl-Neelsen stain. Leprosy exists as a spectrum depending on host immunity, ranging from tuberculoid leprosy where host immunity is high to lepromatous leprosy where host immunity is low. Diagnosis involves identification of bacilli in smears as well as serological and molecular tests. Treatment involves multidrug therapy with dapsone, rifampicin, and clofazimine depending on whether the patient has the paucibH.nana

Enterobius vermicularis, commonly known as pinworm, is a nematode that primarily infects the human large intestine, causing enterobiasis characterized by symptoms such as anal itching and irritability, particularly in children. The infection spreads as the female lays thousands of eggs around the anus at night, which can survive for up to two weeks in the environment. Diagnosis is typically made via perianal swabs, and treatment includes medications like mebendazole, with emphasis on hygiene practices to prevent reinfection.Enterobius vermicularis

Enterobius vermicularis, also known as pinworms, are one of the most common intestinal nematodes that inhabit the cecum and colon. The adult female pinworms migrate out of the anus at night to lay eggs on the perianal skin, causing itching. People become infected by ingesting pinworm eggs. Pinworms have a simple lifecycle within the human host without needing an intermediate host. Common symptoms include irritation and itching in the anal area, though many infections are asymptomatic. Pinworm infections are diagnosed via cellophane tape test or NIH swab to detect eggs on the skin. Treatment involves a single dose of anthelmintic medication repeated after two weeks.Hemolytic Anemia Investigation - By Mohan kumar
