  • Title: Auramine staining in detecting small number of bacilli in skin smears.
    Author: Bhatia VN, Cherian E, Harikrishnan S.
    Journal: Indian J Lepr; 1988 Jan; 60(1):13-6. PubMed ID: 2462604.
    Abstract:
    Auramine staining has been compared with Ziehl-Neelsen's staining of M. leprae in skin smear slide. The auramine method was found to be more sensitive than Ziehl-Neelsen's method and may be useful in detecting small number of M. leprae in skin smears. The inter-observer variance was minimal with auramine staining.
