Abstract
SENBA, M. and ITAKURA, H. A Staining Method for Easy Detection of Eosinophilic Globules in Kaposi's Sarcoma. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1987, 152 (2), 209-210-Eosinophilic globules provide an important clue for diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). These globules were stained with periodic acid Schiff (PAS), periodic acid Schiff reagent after diastase digestion, phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin (PTAH) and autofluorescence under ultraviolet illumination. By these methods, however, eosinophilic globules in KS could not be readily identified. Therefore, we developed a new procedure for rapid identification of eosinophilic globules in KS tissues.
