There should be an IHC stain. It is Leishmaniasis. Any idea what IHC stain I might have done?

IHQ with anti-leishmania (they produce here in Brazil, I don't know if it's available outside) or anti-CD1a. Interestingly, CD1a works best for old-world species, species from Brazil and other new-world countries do not stain properly.

Well you can see it was CD1a. Not sure about the travel history for this patient. Patient's in UK get referred to one of the national centres and PCR's can be done on the tissue for species.

It should be stressed that this positive result for leishmania with CD1a is observed when using the MTB1 clone.
