ABSTRACT
Identical impression smears of spleen; liver and bone marrow biopsy materials from Leishmania donovani-infected hamsters were stained using either acridine orange or Giemsa. Spleen parasite-loads calculated from the two stains for identical biopsy material were significantly different from each other. However; liver and bone marrow parasite-loads calculated from either Giemsa-stained or acridine orange-stained biopsies were not significantly different from each other. This study has shown that acridine orange; which is a quick and simple technique; has great potential in the diagnosis of kala-azar when liver and bone marrow biopsies are used
