[Histonet] Gastric biopsies

[Weems, Joyce]

For H. pylori we do a Genta, which is a modified Steiner, with Alcian blue and H & E over it. 

I've finally gotten the docs to wait to make sure they need specials on everything else, so as not to waste. J

We routinely do PAS with and without digestion, Trichrome and Iron on liver biopsies.  Some doctors I've worked with preferred an Alcian Yellow/Toluidine Blue or a Giemsa for H. Pylori.  We occasionally did H. Pylori using immunohistochemistry.  We also do Iron stains on all bone marrow smears (fixed in methanol) and biopsies.  Hope this helps.

Hello Histoland,
 was wondering if anyone out there does stains other than H&E 's on specific issues.  For example, does anyone run stains to rule out H. pylori on all astric biopsies?  Any information as to the standards in other labs would be reat.
hanks,
risti
