RESUMO
Traditional methods to identify dimorphic fungi dictate that the mold be converted to the yeast phase at 35 to 37°C. We present a time- and cost-saving method of confirming the identification of a dimorph by using special stains to demonstrate the yeast phase directly growing in the original clinical specimens.
