| anonymous | Caseating granulomatous inflammation (100%) | Mycobacterial infection has to be considered. Please perform special stain and culture study for Mycobacterial and fungal infection. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation (100%). Possible causes include histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, other fungal infections and mycobacterial infections. | Need to perform special stains for fungi, parasites and mycobacterial organisms. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, infection to be excluded. 100% | Special stains for infective miro-organisms to be performed, particularly fungus and acid fast bacilli. Also correlate with microbiology laboratory results. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation | Speical studies to look for infective organisms: 1) Toxoplasmosis : Giemsa stain, immunostaining; 2) Mycobacteria : ZN stain, Wade Fite stain, PCR for M. tuberculosis 3) Fungus : PASD, Grocott | 100 |
| anonymous | NECROTIZING GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION. 100% | Special stains eg. Grocott, PAS+D, ZN, and more sampling to look for infective organisms such as fungi, parasites, and Mycobacteria. | 100 |
| anonymous | Histiocytic proliferation favor necrotizing granulomatous inflammation.(100%) | Do fungal stains, including Grocott stain, to look for fungal infection. Ziehl Neelsen and Wade Fite stains to look for mycobacterial infection. Also do S100 protein stain to exclude Rosai-Dorfman disease. | 100 |
| anonymous | Brain - necrotizing granulomatous encephalitis 100% | Special stains required: Ziehl-Neelsen stain, PAS, Grocott - to look for causative organisms. The history of cervical lymphadenopathy is suggesting TB, which then spread intracranially. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation (100%) | Need to perform Gram, Grocott, Ziehl Neelsen, Warthin Starry stains to look for bacteria, fungi, acid fast bacilli and spirochetes. Also need to correlate with microbiological culture result. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation (100%). Infective causes including toxoplamosis and tuberculosis have to be considered. | Suggest Gimesa and PAS stains to look for tachyzoites and bradyzoites of Toxoplasma, Ziehl Neelsen stain for mycobacteria. | 100 |
| anonymous | NECROTIZING GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION. Suggest specific stains (PAS and Ziehl-Neelsen) for acid fast bacilli and fungus. (100%) | nil | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation 100% | Likely infective cause: special stains for AFB (ZN) and fungus (Grocott, PAS) | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous inflammation, of infectious etiology Neurosarcoidosis (if organisms are excluded by special stains, etc) | nil | 90 |
| anonymous | Necrotizing granulomatous lesion, favor infective. 100% Probability | Perform ZN, PASD, mucicarmine, grocott, Giemsa and toludine blue for organism. | 100 |
| anonymous | Necrotising granulomatous inflammation 100% | Infective causes have to be considered; in particular, mycobacterial infection, fungal infection and toxoplasmosis have to be considered. Special stains including Gram, Grocott, PAS, Giemsa and Ziehl-Neelsen stains should be performed to look for microorganisms. Immunohistochemical stain for toxoplasma antigens can be performed. Correlation with microbiological studies may be helpful. | 100 |
| anonymous | brain - granulomatous inflammation 100% | Special stains for infective organisms including ZN and PAS. | 100 |
