H pylori and special stains

From:Instaken@aol.com

Hi all,
    Does your lab automatically perform special stains for H pylori on all 
gastric biopsy material as a matter of routine or do you wait and perform 
them at the discretion of the pathologist after the H&E-stained sections have 
been seen?  Has anyone had experience with seeking an annual 'standing order' 
from gastroenterologist groups desiring these special stains on all gastric 
biopsies?
Thanks,
K Whittenburg
