[Staining improvement for Blastocystis hominis specimen].
Schaudinn solution was used to fix the Blastocystis hominis specimen and an improved Harris hematoxylin staining was applied to stain it. The method shows clearer internal structure of the parasite, simpler and less time-consuming than the traditional iron hematoxylin solution.
