The Acid Fast procedure performed successfully, and the results are analyzed by microscopy. From the results below, screen for tuberculosis. Evidence of a positive diagnosis of TB can be determined by the presence of pink rods (B) after staining with Safranin and purple cocci (A) after counterstaining with Crystal violet. Decolorization is achieved by applying Methylene blue, which will turn the purple cocci (A) into pink rods after Acid-Alcohol treatment.
