“Budding yeast (3–7 μm) and/or pseudohyphae; pseudohyphae can be quite long, spanning many cells, and are eosinophilic to gray brown on the Papanicolaou stain.

Pseudohyphae, formed by cytoplasmic extension of budding yeasts, lack true septations but show complete constrictions along their length that indicate the formation of new cells.

Fragmented leukocyte nuclei and groups of squamous epithelial cells ‘speared’ by pseudohyphae and held together in a rouleaux are often seen.”
