Overview

Other Diagnostic Studies

Skin Biopsy

  • Histopathologic examination with hematoxylin and eosin will variably demonstrate Aspergillus hyphae.
  • The Gomori methenamine silver stain, however, clearly detects hyphae, since the hyphal cell wall stains black, while the background tissue stains green.
  • Aspergillus hyphae should have acute-angle branching and frequent septations on histopathological examination.
