Subject: pneumocystis staining


We have been having trouble with our  stain off and on.  Our routine fungus
stain does not work so well on pmeumocystsis.  We purchased controls and
follow their procedure, still no getting consistent staining. Also, it is a
long stain.
Does anyone have a quick procedure that has been  "faithful"
Thanks
Eileen
