• Fungal infections are caused by various types of fungi, such as dermatophytes, yeasts, and moulds. These infections can affect different parts of the body, including the skin, nails, and hair. Symptoms of fungal infections include redness, itching, scaling, and nail discolouration. Fungal infections can be treated with antifungal medications, but accurate diagnosis is important for effective treatment.
• The Fungal Stain Test (KOH Mount) is a reliable and accurate diagnostic test that can help to identify the type of fungus causing the infection. During the test, a sample of the affected area is collected and placed on a slide. The sample is then treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and examined under a microscope.
