    Area of Science:

    • Histopathology
    • Virology
    • Diagnostic Cytology

    Background:

    • Tzanck preparations are a common method for diagnosing herpetic lesions.
    • Previous methods for Tzanck preparations can be time-consuming and complex.
    • Hematoxylin-eosin staining is a standard in histopathology for visualizing cellular detail.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Paragon Multiple Stain for Frozen Sections (PMS) for Tzanck preparations.
    • To compare the PMS method with previously described techniques for diagnosing herpetic lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Paragon Multiple Stain for Frozen Sections (PMS) for Tzanck preparations of herpetic lesions.
    • Compared the PMS method's speed, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness with existing procedures.
