The Grocott-Gomori methenamine silver (GMS) stain in respiratory cytology is used to detect fungal organisms and Pneumocystis jirovecii. It stains fungal cell walls black against a green background. GMS is particularly sensitive for: 1) Pneumocystis jirovecii (cup-shaped cysts), 2) Histoplasma capsulatum (small yeast), 3) Cryptococcus neoformans (yeast with capsule, though mucicarmine is better for capsule), 4) Aspergillus species (septate hyphae), and 5) Candida species (yeast and pseudohyphae). It also highlights Actinomyces (filamentous bacteria) and Nocardia. GMS is essential for evaluating immunocompromised patients with suspected fungal or Pneumocystis pneumonia.
