Modification of Grocott's staining procedure with heat treatment and oxidation by periodic acid for mucormycosis in tissue: a method to detect Mucor spp.
The sensitivity of the Grocott-modified Gomori's methenamine-silver nitrate technique for the detection of fungi is sometimes low, especially for Mucor spp. We modified the Grocott technique by replacing chromic acid with periodic acid in the oxidation step. The use of periodic acid instead of...
