Type of Preparation: ThinPrep/ LBP Magnification: High Interpretation: NILM: Fungal organisms morphologically consistent with Candida Cytomorphologic Criteria: Candida: Pseudohyphae, formed by elongated budding, with spearing of epithelial cells--"shish kebob" effect. Explanatory Notes: Spearing of epithelial cells is more common on liquid preparations. This may be a clue even when pseudohyphae are not obvious are not prominent.
