AB Microsporiodosis caused by Enterocytozoon bieneusi is one of the
opportunistic infections in HIV positive patients with chronic diarrhea.
The organism is difficult to diagnose because of its small size,
previously the diagnosis of this infection relied on identification of
the organism under electron microscope. Until recently, the spores of
this organism in stool specimens could be seen under light microscope by
using various staining techniques. In this study, the modified trichrome
staining technique was used to identify microsporidia spores with
characteristic red belt-like stripes. Less time and less reagent are
required by this modified technique than the conventional method.
