    Biopsy
    What is special stains test in biopsy? After endoscopy of stomach , gastric erosions are seen and biopsy is advised. The biopsy report is taking more time as they want to do a special stain test . What is the reason for that test?

    Certain stains highlight only certain bacteria, gram negative or gram positive. As Tickle says, they are looking for the cause of your problems.
