What is the Ziehl-Neelsen Fite stain and what is it used for?

The Ziehl-Neelsen Fite stain is a specialized technique used in histopathology to identify acid-fast bacilli, such as Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy, and other mycobacteria. This methodology modifies the traditional Ziehl-Neelsen method, making it less aggressive for preserving bacilli with more fragile cell walls, such as leprosy bacilli, facilitating accurate detection in histological diagnoses.
