- Histopathological examination is considered the gold standard for diagnosing and classifying leprosy. — Sensitivity of immunohistochemistry in the laboratory diagnosis of leprosy: a systematic review protocol
- Conventional histopathology has limited sensitivity in paucibacillary leprosy because bacillary burden may fall below detection thresholds. — Sensitivity of immunohistochemistry in the laboratory diagnosis of leprosy: a systematic review protocol
- Conventional histopathology uses Fite-Faraco staining to demonstrate acid-fast bacilli in skin biopsy specimens. — Sensitivity of immunohistochemistry in the laboratory diagnosis of leprosy: a systematic review protocol
- Restricted histopathology sensitivity creates a diagnostic gap for patients who most need early intervention to prevent nerve damage and disability. — Sensitivity of immunohistochemistry in the laboratory diagnosis of leprosy: a systematic review protocol
- Fluorescence microscopy with auramine-rhodamine staining may provide more sensitive and precise bacillary quantification. — Sensitivity of immunohistochemistry in the laboratory diagnosis of leprosy: a systematic review protocol
