How Can Histological Techniques Help in Diagnosing Infectious Diseases?
Histological techniques are crucial in diagnosing infectious diseases. Tissue biopsies are often examined to identify the presence of pathogens and to assess the extent of tissue damage. Techniques such as Gram staining, PAS staining, and Ziehl-Neelsen staining are used to identify specific types of pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi.
