What are the Challenges of Using Histology in Infectious Disease Studies?
There are several challenges in using histology for infectious disease studies:
Sample Quality: Obtaining high-quality tissue samples is crucial for accurate histological analysis. Technical Expertise: Skilled personnel are required to perform and interpret histological techniques accurately. Specificity: Some pathogens may not be easily identifiable with standard staining techniques, requiring advanced methods like IHC or ISH. Time-Consuming: Histological analysis can be time-consuming, which may delay diagnosis and treatment.
