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.

Why is this test advised?

Direct Answer: Doctors advise a KOH Mount test to confirm suspected fungal infections before starting antifungal treatment.

Early confirmation helps prevent infection spread and guides correct medication. For sample collection instructions once the test resumes, refer to our test preparation guides. You may also explore comparison of diagnostic tests for related infection screening.
