Diagnostic utility of melanin production by fungi: Study on tissue sections and culture smears with Masson-Fontana stain
Background: Dematiaceous fungi appear brown in tissue section due to melanin in their cell walls. When the brown color is not seen on routine H and E and culture is not available, differentiation of dematiaceous fungi from other fungi is difficult on morphology alone. Aims and Objective: To study if...
