Understanding KOH Staining, Hair
What is KOH Staining, Hair?
KOH (Potassium hydroxide) staining is a simple, non-invasive test that helps diagnose fungal infections of the hair. Hair are collected from the affected area and examined for signs of fungal infections under a microscope.
A KOH test is recommended for individuals
- to diagnose fungal infections of the hair and scalp
- to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for fungal infections
- to identify other conditions related to fungal infections
A KOH test does not explicitly identify the type of fungus; it only shows that fungus is present. In most cases, knowing precisely the fungus may not be necessary. The doctor can make an informed judgment and prescribe treatment.
