Cases of intestinal giardiasis, spirochetosis, and cryptosporidiosis were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained tissue sections from which the coverslips were removed and the sections coated with gold. The technique is simple and reliably provides excellent morphologic detail that is preserved in the deparaffinized 4 microsections. We present examples of nine intestinal parasites examined in this manner and compare this technique with standard H&E staining and special stains with regard to relative costs, turnaround time, labor input, and morphologic preservation. Scanning electron microscopy is a useful adjunct in providing confirmatory evidence in the diagnosis of intestinal giardiasis, spirochetosis, and cryptosporidiosis.

This report describes the light microscopic and ultrastructural changes in a 3-month-old dog with naturally acquired intestinal spirochetosis and giardiasis. It was concluded that the pathogenetic characteristics of weakly beta-hemolytic spirochetes associated with colitis in this pup were similar to those associated with human and porcine spirochetal diarrhea.
