Abstract
Good results were obtained using sputum specimens and Grocotts staining of bronchoalveolar lavage specimens using the BD SurePathTM liquid-based cytology system. The system removed mucus and blood from all the specimens, and staining was carried out with a smear of 13 mm circumference through ionic bonds. Cell abrasion was improved, and good Grocotts staining was possible.
