Ziehl-Neelsen staining: theory and practice.
The international journal of tuberculosis and lung disease : the official journal of the International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2008 The information provided in the guidelines of the World Health Organization and the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease for Ziehl-Neelsen staining is not practical on a number of points. The advice given here is meant to supplement the guidelines.
