2018, International Journal of Pediatric OtorhinolaryngologyCitation Excerpt :It is stated that there were most likely children with negative culture results who had disease resulting from mycobacteria as well as lymphadenopathy with another causative agent [25]. Auraminne staining sensitivity ranged between 46% and 85%, whereas the specificity ranged between 60% and 100% [21, 28]. Ziehl-Neelsen staining was found to have a sensitivity of 60% and specificity of 85%.

2017, Seminars in Diagnostic PathologyCitation Excerpt :Alternatives include the Fite stain or the Auramine O or Auramine-Rhodamine fluorescent stains. Auramine O and other fluorescent stains have been reported to be more sensitive than Ziehl-Neelsen but they may also be less specific.36,37 Furthermore, this technique requires a fluorescence microscope, which is not universally available.
