Abstract
A method of simultaneously staining for various opportunistic pathogens stains tissues sections with Ziehl-Neelsen carbo-fuchsin, Schiff reagent, and a mixture of metanil yellow and stock fast green solution. In particular, the method is useful for staining tissue sections suspected of containing opportunistic pathogens commonly found in AIDS patients, i.e., acid fast mycobacteria, fungus, and Pneumocystis carinii.
