Specimens were analyzed by cultures, staining, and histologic testing.
A biopsy of the neck nodule was sent for culture and histologic testing.
The confirmation of bone metastases by histologic testing was not recommended in this study.
The H. pylori infection status was confirmed by bacterial culture, C -urea breath test and histologic testing.
In order to confirm the specificity of the PCR fragments obtained, amplicons from two samples with histologic test for H. pylori positive and two samples with histologic test for H. pylori negative were sequenced.
This analysis method is also likely to be specific because results of cultures, biopsies, histologic testing, and serologic testing provide strong evidence of infection.
Internal organs (lung, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen) from 10 of these frogs were examined by histologic testing, but no lesions were detected.
Treated as a special case, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed only if there was positive histologic testing and/or culture after biopsy or autopsy, as defined by Vandewoude and coworkers [ 24].
The presence of HP infection was confirmed in each case, using histologic examination, urease test or bacterial culture.
A patient was classified as H. pylori-negative when the culture, histologic examination, urease test, and serology were all negative (Group E).
