leishman giemsa cocktail an effective Romanowsky Stain for air dried cytologic smears
Acta Cytologica, 2006Co-Authors: Rajendra S Garbyal, Neeta Agarwal, Prachi KumarAbstract:Objective To develop an economical, quick, readily available and simple alternative to May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) Stain and so to explore the combination of Leishman and Giemsa Stain (LG cocktail). Study Design One wet-fixed and 2 air-dried smears were prepared frow 720 cases during the period January 2003-November 2004. The LG cocktail and MGG Stain were used on the air-dried smears and Papanicolaou Stain in wet-fixed smears. Diagnoses of the cases were made using the LG cocktail-Stained smears, and then its diagnostic efficacy was cross-checked with the MGG- and Papanicolaou-stahied smears by the same cytopathologist. A comparative study of the LG cocktail and MGG-Stained smears was done. Results The results achieved with the LG cocktail-Stained smears were comparable to or even better than those with the MGG-stamed smears, with excellent diagnostic efficacy. Conclusion As compared to MGG Stain, the 1-step LG cocktail is cheaper, easier to standardize and quicker.

FRECUENCIA DE NEOPLASIAS DE GLÁNDULA MAMARIA EN PERRAS CON DIAGNÓSTICO CITOLÓGICO Frequency of Mammary Gland Tumors in Bitches with Cytological Diagnosis
2012Co-Authors: Luis Núñez OchoaAbstract:This trial is the outcome of a retrospective analysis over 38 months by cytological diagnosis of 270 cases of mammary gland tumors. In all cases, a fast routine Romanowsky Stain was used. Of the total sampling, 76.7% of the lesions corresponded to neoplasms, 16.3% for cysts and 7.0% for inflammatory lesions. Benign neoplasms (79.7%) predominated over malignant tumors (20.3%). Poodle, Cocker Spaniel and Mongrel breeds were the most affected with 27.5, 11.6 and 11.1% respectively. The average age of diagnosis of neoplasia was 9.7 years. Females represented the 99.0% of cases.

A Mysterious Malady: the Malachowski-Wright-Giemsa Stain to the Rescue
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2011Co-Authors: Patrick C. J. Ward, E. F. Glassy, Steven H. Kroft, Kristine P KraftsAbstract:AbstractA patient entered hospital with a puzzling absolute monocytosis. Admitting blood smears had been Stained with Diff-Quik, a Romanowsky Stain. When additional smears were Stained using a standard Malachowski-Wright-Giemsa method, the reason for the monocytosis became abundantly clear.

Romanowsky Staining in cytopathology: history, advantages and limitations
Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2011Co-Authors: Kristine P Krafts, S. E. PambuccianAbstract:AbstractIf the entire discipline of diagnostic cytopathology could be distilled into a single theme, it would be the Papanicolaou Stain. Yet it was the Romanowsky Stain upon which the discipline of cytopathology was founded. Both Stains are used today in the cytopathology laboratory, each for a different and complementary purpose. We trace the history of cytopathological Stains and discuss the advantages and limitations of Romanowsky-type Stains for cytological evaluation. We also provide suggestions for the advantageous use of Romanowsky-type Stains in cytopathology.
