KOH Preparation for Fungal Elements (Wet Mount)
The KOH (Potassium Hydroxide) Preparation test is a microscopic examination performed to detect fungal elements in clinical specimens like skin scrapings, hair, nails, or other body fluids. The sample is treated with KOH, which dissolves non-fungal components, making fungal hyphae, spores, or yeast cells more visible under a microscope. This test is quick, cost-effective, and commonly used for diagnosing fungal infections, such as dermatophytosis, candidiasis, and tinea infections.
