title: Tissue section Donovan bodies--identification through slow-Giemsa (overnight) technique.
abstract: Slow-Giemsa (overnight) tissue section staining technique is described. It was found to be 100% successful in different variants of donovanosis. This method, though time-consuming, is much superior to often used tissue smears, and should be employed for its ultimate confirmation.
