The sensitivity and specificity of different staining procedures for the detection of Pneumocystis carinii organisms were compared. Three conventional stains (Papanicolaou, Giemsa and Grocott's) and one immunocytochemical stain using 3F6 antibody were used on smears prepared from the same specimen. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and induced sputum (IS) specimens were used for this purpose. One hundred and sixty-five episodes from 142 patients were investigated by the four different staining techniques. Cysts of P. carinii were detected in 64 episodes from 63 patients. Immunocytochemical staining with 3F6 was found to be slightly more sensitive at detecting the cysts than Grocott's, Giemsa, or Papanicolaou stain.
比较了不同染色方法检测卡氏肺孢子虫生物体的敏感性和特异性。对取自同一标本制备的涂片使用了三种传统染色法(巴氏染色法、吉姆萨染色法和格罗科特染色法)以及一种使用3F6抗体的免疫细胞化学染色法。支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)和诱导痰(IS)标本用于此目的。通过四种不同染色技术对142例患者的165次发病情况进行了调查。在63例患者的64次发病情况中检测到了卡氏肺孢子虫囊肿。发现用3F6进行免疫细胞化学染色在检测囊肿方面比格罗科特染色法、吉姆萨染色法或巴氏染色法略敏感。
