In a method for the cytological examination of mucous membranes, a mucous particle of about pinhead size is removed from the surface of the mucous membrane and is moved across a surface such that viscous mucous and, together therewith, the epithelial surface layer portion remain attached to the slide surface so as to form a streak preparation which is then dried for examination under a microscope. For moving the particle across the surface a needle is used which is placed with its tip onto the surface at a distance from the particle so that any pressure applied to the needle is directly transmitted to the surface but which is held at an angle of 10-30° so that the particle is contacted by the needle above its center such that a downward force is generated on the particle by which the particle is engaged with the surface in a reproducible fashion. The method can be used for the determination of fungal infections of the gastric and/or intestinal mucosa.
