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>Talaromyces marneffei</i> in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample prepared by LCT. Cytological characteristics of <i>Talaromyces marneffei</i> include magenta (PAS) or brown-black (GMS) salami spores after special staining. Magnification, 40x. (a) LCT in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample by PAS; (b) LCT in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid sample by GMS. LCT: liquid-based cytopathology; PAS: periodic acid-schiff; GMS: grocott’s methenamine sliver.</div>
