[Histonet] congenital syphilis

[Bell, Mandy]

Hi,



I was hoping someone would have a suggestion for a stain for congenital syphilis on a placenta.  Our pathologist wants this done- I know a warthinstarry or steiner would work, but we do not do either of these stains.  Would a diff-quik stain work?



Thanks,
