Abstract
Trichome staining method was superior to other techniques in detecting opportunistic protozoan infections: 35.7% for Cryptosporidium sp, and 50% for Microsporidium sp. The Acid Fast (Carbol Fuchsin) stain was useful only in detecting the oocysts of Cryptosporidium sp.. With 35.7% positivity. Laboratories in developing countries can put Tricrome stain in their priority purchase.
