The KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) Test for Fungus is a simple and rapid diagnostic test used to detect fungal infections. A sample from the affected area—such as skin scrapings, hair, or nail clippings—is treated with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and examined under a microscope.
KOH dissolves keratin and other cellular material, making it easier to visualize fungal elements like hyphae or yeast cells. This test is commonly used to diagnose conditions such as ringworm (dermatophytosis), candidiasis, and other superficial fungal infections.
The purpose of this test is to:
- Detect fungal elements in skin, hair, or nail samples
- Diagnose superficial fungal infections
- Identify conditions like ringworm and candidiasis
- Support prompt treatment decisions
