Describe of diphtheria.

 

                                  Describe lab diagnosis of diphtheria.

Causative organism of diphtheria is coryn bacterium It is gram positive, non-motile, rod shaped, non-acid fast bacilli, non-sporing and pleomorphic. Average size Is 3 µ /0.3 µ.

1. Examination of throat swab or laryngcal swab for albert staining.

Ø  Prepare smear from throat swab or laryngeal swab.

Ø  Dry air and fix over flame.

Ø  Pour albert-I for 5-7 mints.

Ø  Blot anmd dry with the help of filter paper.

Ø  Add Albert-II stain keep it for 3-5 mints.

Ø  Wash under tap water.

Ø  Diptheria bacilli shows met achromatic dot two pole of bacillius.

2. Culture from throat swab or laryngeal swab on. Loefflers serom agar and Tellurite blood agar.

Ø  Loefflers serum agar shows gram positive bacilli with metachromatic granule in 6-8 hours.

Ø  Tellurite blood agar shows three diphtheria bacillius (Gravis, Intermedius, mitis)

Ø  Gravis shows Daisy head colonies.

Ø  Intermedius shows frog egg colonies.

Ø  Mitis shows poached egg colony.

3. Virulence test by animal inoculation. Either subcutaneously or intradermal.

Ø  Both emulsion of the culture on loefflers shope is emulsified in 2-5 ml both and 0.8ml of emulsion injected sub-cutaneously in two guinea pig. 1st Guniea pig gives 500units of antitoxin of C. diphtheria present, 2nd Guniea pig will die in 54 days.

4. Eleks gel preparation test.

5. Culture on HELA Cell line:- Bacteria is identified by death of cells on cell line.

6. Schick test :- Skin test 0.2 ml of diphtheria toxin injected intradermaly on left for arm and similar does of toxin inactivated by heating at 70 ˚c of 30 mints injection.

Rericulocyte Staining process

  Rericulocyte Staining process A reticulocyte stain is a technique a day of Highlight RNA in reticulocytes, A type oc Immuture RBC. This stain commonly use in Hematology department in pathology lab. Edta sample mixed with Reticulocyte staining Solution(Methylene blue) ↓ After Mixed incubate at room temperature. ↓ Prepare   a blood smears ↓ Wait A slide Air-dried the smear ↓ Examined under microscope ↓ The number of reticulocyte count in the patient blood sample is countyed and expressed a percentage   The stain show the RNA in reticulocytes as a blue colour against the pink colour of the rest of the cell. The pattern of the blue colour indicatye the stage of the reticulocyte A hight reticulocyte count can indicate that immutur red blood cells are not surviving longenough, & that the bone marrow needs to increase production. The reticulocyte count is an important role of monitoring of red blood cellssurvival & formation activity o...

MICROSCOPE

                                     MICROSCOPE Introduction of microscope The microscope is indispensable for a clinical laboratory technician. It is very important to have a sound knowledge of the microscope which is going to be a constant comparing in his daily work. To obtain desired magnification for visualizing the objects, the scientists did untiring efforts. The world microscope is derived from two Greek words - ''micro'' (small) and ''scope'' (view). Simple microscope discoveries by Anthony von Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) and subsequently compound microscope by Robert Hook (1635-1703) were made. It is an instrument by which very small things can be seen which are not seen by the necked eye. This is done by producing an enlarged and well defined image of the objects by a system of lens. Principle of microscope The light beam, which falls on the object, p...
