BACKGROUND
Traditional diagnostic testing for dermatophyte infection currently requires skin scraping for light microscopy and/or fungal culture or skin biopsy. Immunofluorescent microscopy can also be used with calcofluor stain. All of these tests can be time-consuming to perform, require a waiting

BACKGROUND
The diagnosis of tinea versicolor can usually be made by clinical examination. Either potassium hydroxide (KOH) or Wood's light fluorescence are used to corroborate the diagnosis. Albert's solution has been reported as a method of visualizing dermatophytes. We compared Albert's solution

BACKGROUND
Microscopy of a potassium hydroxide preparation of skin scrapings or nail clippings, although widely advocated as a test for dermatomycosis, is used in only a small proportion of cases.
OBJECTIVE
This study set out to investigate the effect of potassium hydroxide testing on the

BACKGROUND
The diagnosis of superficial mycosis such as dermatophytosis is often done clinically. However, in difficult cases, a rapid test with high sensitivity and specificity helps in the immediate confirmation and administration of treatment.
METHODS
The efficacy, rapidity of detection, and

Dermatophytes are fungi that cause infections affecting hair, nail, and skin; in nails they cause onychomycosis, while in hair they lead to tinea capitis. Detection of dermatophytes using traditional methods, including potassium hydroxide (KOH) and culture on agar-based media leads to
