Clinicopathological study of vesiculo bullous lesions of skin in a tertiary care hospital

Abstract

Tzanck smear cytology though it is an old and simple test, it will provide much diagnostic value in the case of vesiculo bullous lesions. It was first used by Arnault Tzanck in 1947 in herpetic infections. To determine diagnostic accuracy of Tzanck smear cytology the results were compared with histopathological findings of vesiculobullous lesions.
