What are the Histological Features of Fungal Infections?
Fungal infections, or mycoses, can be identified in tissues using special stains like Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS) stain and Grocott's Methenamine Silver (GMS) stain. These stains highlight fungal cell walls, making it easier to identify the presence of fungi. Histologically, fungal infections often present with granulomatous inflammation, necrosis, and the presence of fungal hyphae or spores.
