Special Staining of the Liquid-Based Cytopathology Test in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for Diagnosis of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis with Nonneutropenic Patients

<div>Morphological characteristics of <i>cryptococcus</i> in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample prepared by LCT, followed by special staining. <i>Cryptococcus</i> was characterized by magenta (PAS) or brown-black (GMS) round, yeast-like organisms. (a) LCT in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample by PAS; (b) LCT in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample by GMS; magnification, 40x. LCT: liquid-based cytopathology; PAS: periodic acid-schiff; GMS: grocott’s methenamine sliver.</div>
