[The comparison of HE staining and giemsa staining in detection of eosinophilic granulocytes in conjunctiva scroping].
OBJECTIVE
To find the better method of eosinophilic granulocytes staining by comparison between HE staining and Giemsa staining


METHODS
Twenty conjunctivitis patients(40 eyes) were studied. The infected palpabral conjunctiva of both eyes were scroped and stained separately with Giemsa staining and HE staining.


RESULTS
Under microscope, eosinophilic granulocytes were more clear by Giemsa staining than HE staining.


CONCLUSIONS
In showing eosinophilic granulocytes, Giemsa staining was better than HE staining.
