What Are the Diagnostic Methods for Mucor in Histology?
The diagnosis of Mucor infection often involves a combination of clinical presentation, radiographic imaging, and histological examination. Histologically, tissue biopsies are examined under the microscope using special fungal stains like PAS and GMS to visualize the fungal elements. Culture and molecular techniques, such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), can also be employed to confirm the presence and type of fungal species.
