We cut three levels about 100 microns apart, picking up two sections on each
level on all GI biopsies. All three levels are stained H&E and a spare
section kept for special stains. A third slide from the middle level of all
upper GI biopsies is stained Alcian Blue-PAS. If there is clinical history
or suspicion of Helicobacter pylori, a modified Giemsa is also done on an
extra slide taken from the middle level from biopsies of gastric / pyloric /
fundus.

Dear Histonet
Because of a recent article in "Human Pathology, July 1999" "The
Dark
Side of the Gastric Biopsy" has caused our Pathologist to
re-evaluate
our protocol, (levels, specials stains, etc.) I decided to poll the
net
to try to ascertain what the prudent protocol should be. Thank You
in
advance for your input
