Abstract

Purpose: To find the better method of eosinophilic granulocytes staining by comparison between HE staining and Giemsa staining

Methods: Twenty conjunctivitis patients(40 eyes) were studied. The infected palpabral conjunctiva of both eyes were scroped and stained separately with Giemsa staining and HE staining.

Result: Under microscope, eosinophilic granulocytes were more clear by Giemsa staining than HE staining.

Conclusion: In showing eosinophilic granulocytes, Giemsa staining was better than HE staining.
