Mastocytosis regulates many physiologic processes and affects the pathogenesis of allergic conditions, anaphylactic reactions, autoimmune disorders and leukemias. Toluidine blue is commonly employed as a special stain for MCs that uniformly imparts blue color to both immature and mature cells. Csaba stain that distinguishes mature from immature MCs has not been widely explored. However, its use in differentiating mature and immature cells has not been reported in the literature. The identification of mature and immature MCs may provide a major clue for the diagnosis of any unrecognized systemic pathologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty sections of inflammatory lesions were subjected to Csaba stain, toluidine blue and Leishman's stains each for studying MCs.
