[Histonet] Gastric biopsies

[Joyce Cline]

We do Iron,Trichrome, Pas with and without Diastase and Retic on liver biopsies if requested by the grossing pathologist. We do Diff-Quik on all stomach biopsies, and if requested by the pathologist an Hp immno. A tricchrome is done on colon with a diagnosis of microscopic or collagenous colitis . A pas light green is done on esophogeal biopsies for candida. Any other specials are done at the request of the pathologist.

Subject: [Histonet] Gastric biopsies

Hello Histoland,
I was wondering if anyone out there does stains other than H&E 's on specific tissues.  For example, does anyone run stains to rule out H. pylori on all gastric biopsies?  Any information as to the standards in other labs would be great.
Thanks,
Cristi
