Abstract
Cellufluor, a fluorochrome with affinity for chitin and cellulose, was retrospectively compared to gram and giemsa stains for detection of human oculomycoses. From culture-proven specimens, this chemofluorescent stain detected hyphae or yeasts on 50% of smears previously considered negative. Cellufluor is a useful adjunct in the detection and confirmation of fungal elements from ocular specimens.Entities:
