Laboratory Diagnosis of Fungal Infections
The Last Course
Methenamine-Silver Stain of Vegetation
September 2011
Well, this is a methanamine-silver stain of the vegetation and I was approached by a cardiac pathologist and a resident with a slide and they said, “Can you tell us what this is?” So I looked at it and I said, “I don’t know what it is. It is a fungus, but I can’t tell you what it is just by looking at this.” But basically what we saw here were hyphae, swollen round cells in there and they were all methanamine-silver positive which indicated it was truly fungal.
