Abstract
We present an experimental study on the immunohistochemical identification of Penicillium marneffei in paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed tissue. The monoclonal antibody EB-A1 detects a specific galactomannan that appears to have at least one epitope identical in P. marneffei and Aspergillus sp. This immunohistochemical approach could be useful in the diagnosis of a rare diseae, penicilliosis marneffei, which proves to be difficult to identify by conventional microscopy.Entities:
