Subject: H pylori and special stains


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
