 AB    BACKGROUND: Microsporidian protozoa are increasingly recognized as
       pathogenic organisms related to host immunosuppression. CASE: We report
       a case of pulmonary microsporidiosis detected in aspirated bronchial
       material and in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from a
       26-year-old, male acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patient presenting
       pulmonary symptoms and known to have intestinal microsporidiosis. The
       diagnosis was made on cytologic examination of the material processed
       according to the Papanicolaou technique, evaluated by Giemsa, Gram's,
       Grocott and chromotrope-2R modified trichrome preparations and by
       fungi-fluor fluorescent mycology stain. CONCLUSION: Our findings reveal
       an important fluorescent property of intracellular microsporidian
       spores, heretofore undescribed in the literature.
