Role of S-100 Immunostaining in Demonstration of Nerve Changes and Quantification of Dendritic Cells in Leprosy

Role of S-100 Immunostaining in Demonstration of Nerve Changes and Quantification of Dendritic Cells in Leprosy

Background: A definitive diagnosis of leprosy is based on a demonstration of either acid-fast bacilli or nerve elements within the granulomas. On routine hematoxylin and eosin stains, the nerve fibers are not easily identifiable. In this study, S-100 immunostain is used to highlight the nerve el...
