“…H. capsulatum yeast forms (2–5 μ m in diameter) reside within macrophages (Figure 8), and will stain positively with Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) stains. Mycobacterial infection of the lung in respiratory samples may be heralded by the finding of granulomatous inflammation with or without caseation [86]. A combination of an acid fast stain (e.g., Ziehl-Neelsen, Kinyoun, or auramine-rhodamine stains) with PCR in one study showed a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 100% [87].…”

Exfoliative and aspiration cytologies play a major role in the management of patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection. Common cytology samples include cervicovaginal and anal Papanicolaou tests, fine needle aspirations, respiratory specimens, body fluids, Tzanck preparations, and touch preparations from brain specimens. While the cytopathologists need to be aware of specific infections and neoplasms likely to be encountered in this setting, they should be aware of the current shift in the pattern of human immunodeficiency virus-related diseases, as human immunodeficiency virus patients are living longer with highly active antiretroviral therapy and suffering fewer opportunistic infections with better antimicrobial prophylaxis. There is a rise in nonhuman immunodeficiency virus-defining cancers (e.g., anal cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma) and entities (e.g., gynecomastia) from drug-related side effects. Given that fine needle aspiration is a valuable, noninvasive, and cost-effective tool, it is frequently employed in the evaluation and diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus-related diseases. Anal Papanicolaou tests are also increasing as a result of enhanced screening of human immunodeficiency virus-positive patients for cancer. This paper covers the broad spectrum of disease entities likely to be encountered with human immunodeficiency virus-related cytopathology.
