Does anyone have a rapid stain procedure for 
pneumocystis carinii?  We are looking for a STAT
procedure that could be done after hours or on 
weekends (possibly performed by the pathologists)
for bronchial cytology specimens for the rapid diagnosis
of pneumocystis carinii.  Any help would be much 
appreciated.  Thank you.
