| Abstract |
Gram staining is a basic inspection method which quickly detects the existence of bacteria lurking in infected lesions, narrows down causal microorganisms, and leads to infectious disease diagnosis. The microscopic examination of the patient material is a test which can be said to look in the lesion with a microscope, and it is possible to draw out various information reflecting the disease state and treatment progress of the present patient, but on the other hand, there is a limit in the staining method. Not only staining but also culture method and genetic testing method have usefulness and limit respectively, and it is important to improve the accuracy of infectious disease diagnosis by complementary each limit. In this paper, we present a real case in which gram staining observation is the starting point and leads to other test methods, and introduces the interpretation method and utilization method of gram staining findings. |
