ABSTRACT

The organisms in pathologic tissues of sporotrichosis were detected by ABC technique. Brown spores were found, some spores appeared to be round, or pearshaped,budding spores or asteriod hotlies were observed, and some spores were phagocytlzed by leukocytes and macrophages. The diameter of spores ranged from 2. spin to 10. 0um. The sensitivity of this method is 96. 2% and the specificity 100%. Examining one case takes about three hours. The method can be used for retrospective study, as well as rapid diagnosis of sporotrichosis.
