4. HIV Encephalopathy, Brain, Luxol Fast Blue (LFB) Stain - Low
Power
Luxol Fast Blue is a stain that highlights myelin, staining it blue.
This stain is used to highlight areas of demyelination,
characteristic of HIV encephalopathy. However, demyelination is a
non-specific feature; can you think of another disease in
immunosuppressed patients that may result in demyelination?
