The subject of staining FNA smears with AFB and Gram stains in Histology vs in
Micro came up today. Is there a reason that FNAs can't be stained the same way
we stain our tissue sections? One of our docs was under the impression that
it's not acceptable to use the staining methods we use in our Histology lab. I
don't know what method Micro labs use, so I was hoping someone could shed some
light on this subject for me.
Thanks, as always,
Angie
