Fungal Detection by KOH Preparation (Skin Scrapings)
Dealing with a scaly skin rash? This rapid test detects fungi in skin scrapings within minutes, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for skin infections.
Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) preparation for skin scrapings is a rapid microscopic test for the preliminary detection of dermatophytes or yeast in scrapings from infected skin. Scrapings are taken from the active edge of the skin lesion using a sterile scalpel or blade, then placed on a microscope slide with KOH solution (10-20%). The solution dissolves and digests the human keratinocytes in the sample, making fungal filaments (hyphae) or yeast cells clearly visible under the microscope.
