Abstract
The diagnosis of microsporidiosis by staining stools is known to be fa st and cheap. To obtain a specific and sensitive result, two colorimet ric methods must be used: staining by the fluorochrome Uvitex 2 B (VAN GOOL) and trichrome. Among the four staining methods of trichrome cur rently studied, the WEBER coloration could be considered as the most e fficient The density of microsporidia spores could be semi-quantitativ ely evaluated, because their distribution is homogeneous.
