12/01/2013 - "Clinically, mycotic keratitis was suspected, and direct microscopy of corneal scrapings stained by lactophenol cotton blue and Gram stains revealed broad septate hyphae. "
05/01/1991 - "The LPCB mount was positive in greater than 80% of cases of keratitis due to Fusarium spp. and Aspergillus spp. The LPCB mount is strongly recommended as a simple, rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive diagnostic technique in cases of mycotic keratitis."

06/01/2008 - "Chlorazol black E can be used for detection of fungal filaments in corneal scrapings; however, it is less sensitive than lactophenol cotton blue and gram stains as a diagnostic aid for fungal keratitis."
03/01/1998 - "In 22 culture positive fungal keratitis patients in phase I, the sensitivity of KOH, Gram's stain, and LPCB methods was 100%, 86.4%, and 77.3%, respectively. "
