A member asked:
Is it possible for a period acid schiff/alcian blue to stain positive for barrett's esophagus as a result of severe inflammation and then turn out to be negative once the inflammation dissipates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PAS stains for carbohydrates, esp, glycogen, Alcian blue stains mucus. Both are normal constituents of cells and do not have pathological significant per se.
