What is the Fungal Stain (KOH Mount) Test?
Direct Answer: The Fungal Stain Test, also called a KOH Mount test, is a microscopic method used to detect fungal structures in skin, nail, hair or clinical samples.
The test uses potassium hydroxide (KOH), a solution that clears normal cells and highlights fungal elements under a microscope. It helps confirm common superficial infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, nail fungus and scalp fungal infections. When available, healthcare nt sickcare offers accurate fungal diagnostics for Pune and nearby areas.
