How Does Histology Help in Diagnosing Infectious Diseases?
Histological techniques involve examining thin sections of tissues under a microscope. Stains and dyes, such as Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), are commonly used to highlight different cellular components. For infectious diseases, special stains like Gram stain for bacteria, Giemsa stain for parasites, and Silver stain for fungi can help identify specific pathogens.
