An alternative to India ink stain

Tropical Doctor, Volume 45, No. 3, Year 2015

An alternative stain was sought to assist in microbiological diagnoses of cryptococcal infections in immunosuppressed patients with meningitis. Mascara proved to be an excellent and cheap alternative. © 2015, SAGE Publications. All rights reserved.
