| Staining | In blood smears stained by Romanowsky methods, the organisms appear in the erythrocytes as dense, homogeneous, bluish-purple, round inclusions 0.3-1.0 um in diameter. Each inclusion contains from 1 to 8 subunits or initial bodies, which are the actual parasitic bacteria, each being 0.3-0.4 um in diameter... |
