The identification of lupus erythematosus cells. A comparison of supravital fluorochromation with a standard Wright's stain method.
A comparison of standard Wright's stained lupus erythematosus preparations and an acridine orange fluorochromatic method was conducted using 354 consecutive lupus erythematosus preparations involving 264 patients. The results of this comparison and a discussion of the fluorochromatic procedure are presented.
