FAQ
What is Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution used for in clinical
diagnosis?
Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution is commonly used in clinical settings for the staining of acid-fast bacilli, specifically Mycobacterium tuberculosis, to aid in the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
How does Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution work?
The Carbol-Fuchsin solution in Ziehl-Neelsen stain penetrates the lipid-rich mycobacterial cell wall, staining the bacteria red. This allows for easy visualization of acid-fast bacilli under a microscope.
What are the advantages of using Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution for clinical diagnosis?
One of the main advantages of Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution is its high specificity for acid-fast bacilli, making it a reliable method for diagnosing tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections.
Are there any limitations or disadvantages to using Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution?
While Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution is highly specific for acid-fast bacilli, it may not be as sensitive as other staining methods. Additionally, the staining procedure can be time-consuming and requires skilled technicians for accurate interpretation of results.
How should Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution be properly used in clinical diagnosis?
To use Ziehl-Neelsen Carbol-Fuchsin Basic solution, samples should be fixed and heat-fixed onto a slide, followed by the application of the staining solution. After a specific incubation period, the slide can be washed and examined under a microscope for the presence of acid-fast bacilli.
