Abstract To the editor.— I have been very pleased with the following method of preparing a Tzanck test. The material to be tested is spread with a No. 15 blade on a regular glass slide. A small drop of methylene blue is applied and immediately covered with a coverslip. This is examined directly as a wet preparation under the microscope. The nuclear detail is sufficient to distinguish easily giant and multinucleated cells. The methylene blue is readily available from any histopathology laboratory. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Dermatology American Medical Association
