Rapid method for Tzanck preparations.
Barr RJ, Herten RJ, Graham JH.
Use of the Paragon Multiple Stain for Frozen Sections (PMS) for Tzanck preparations of herpetic lesions has several distinct advantages over procedures previously described; the method is rapid, simple, inexpensive, and results in hematoxylin-eosin-like staining. This enables a diagnosis to be made from a single, affected cell.

Diagnosis of herpesvirus infections: correlation of Tzanck preparations with viral isolation.
Motyl MR, Bottone EJ, Janda JM.
Evaluation of Giemsa-stained smears of scrapings from the base of vesicles or ulcers ( Tzanck preparation) for the presence of multinucleated giant cells and/or intracellular inclusions were diagnostic for herpesvirus in 18 of 21 cases (86%) of culturally proved herpesvirus infections. Smears from four patients with varicella-zoster infection also revealed cytologic alterations characteristic of herpesvirus.

Cytologic examination and viral and bacterial culture in herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and varicella.
Veien NK.
Cytologic examination of epithelial cells from the base of vesicles, virus isolation, and bacterial culture were carried out in thirty-one patients with herpes simplex, in eleven patients with herpes zoster, and in three patients with varicella. Determination of herpes simplex complement fixation reaction was made in the patients with herpes simplex. Cytologic manifestations consistent with herpes were found 65 percent of patients with herpes simplex, while herpesvirus hominis was isolated in 77 percent of these patients. Diagnostic cytologic manifestations were found in 82 percent of the patients with herpes zoster or varicella. Varicella-zoster virus was isolated in 27 percent of these patients. The presence of pathogenic bacteria did not seem to influence the frequency of virus isolation or finding of characteristic cytologic features.
