Abstract
Pneumocystis carinii (P. carinii), a microorganism often associated with AIDS patients, stains a brilliant rose-purple with cresyl echt violet. The original procedure used solutions that were unstable, giving irreproducible results. This modification produces a short reliable method. It is the preferred method used in our laboratory over Grocott's methenamine silver (GMS) and Giemsa to differentiate P. carinii from fungal spores. (The J Histotechnol 12:39, 1989).
