title: A RAPID STAINING METHOD FOR RICKETTSIA ORIENTALIS.
abstract: A rapid method for staining R. orientalis is described. Smears of infected tissues are defatted and stained in a dilute aqueous solution of methylene blue and basic fuchsin. Smears thus stained show R. orientalis as blue organisms on a pinkish-purple background.
