From: Increased Diagnostic Yield of Tuberculous Serositis by Using Serous Fluid Drainage Flocky Precipitate (SFDFP) as a Testing Sample

Figure 1

Serous Fluid Drainage Flocky Precipitate samples extracted from serous fluid. This sample can be easily collected from an overnight drainage bag and has a unique cotton-like formation (a,b). Samples can be stained and examined by histopathological methods to differentiate malignant tissue (c) and MTB infection (d). Staining methods of c and d were hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and acid-fast staining respectively.
