How are Fungal Elements Detected in Histology?

Fungal elements are detected through various staining techniques. Some common stains used include:
Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) Stain: This stain highlights fungal cell walls by staining them pink or magenta.
Gomori Methenamine Silver (GMS) Stain: This stain renders fungal elements black or dark brown against a light background.
Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) Stain: Although not specific for fungi, H&E can provide initial clues by showing inflammatory responses and tissue architecture.
