Patient<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Would just like to thank the very kind person who gave me the
AFB control that my Pathologist is lording over, we had an immuno suppressed
patient biopsy and in one of the sections there is a great vacule with
an abundance of AFB. We are now trying to work out if anything went
wrong, has anyone come across any unusual situations where a false positive
could be created? </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>The control and tissue where on the same slide, but a good
distance apart, the bacteria in the patient are in the same place on two
consecutive sections. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Also if you know of any sites with good pictures of AFB
positive tissue I would be interested in looking at these.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Yours faithfully:</DIV>
