Fungal infections have been on the rise in recent years due to a variety of reasons like climate change, increased use of antibiotics, and weakened immune systems. At DNA Labs India, we offer a range of diagnostic tests to help diagnose fungal infections at an early stage. One such test is the KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test, which is a routine fungal examination.

What is the KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test?

The KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test is a microscopic examination of skin, hair, or nail specimens to diagnose fungal infections. It is a simple, quick, and low-cost test that can help identify the presence of fungi in the sample. The test involves treating the sample with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and staining it with Calcofluor white, a fluorescent dye that binds to fungal cell walls.

What are the symptoms of fungal infections?

The symptoms of fungal infections depend on the type of infection and the part of the body that is affected. Some common symptoms include:

  • Redness and itching
  • Scaling or flaking of the skin
  • Blisters or pustules
  • Thick, discolored, or brittle nails
  • Hair loss or bald patches
  • Chronic sinusitis
  • Vaginal itching and discharge

How is a fungal infection diagnosed?

Diagnosing a fungal infection requires a combination of physical examination, medical history, and laboratory tests. The KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test is one such test that can help diagnose fungal infections. Other tests include fungal cultures, skin scrapings, blood tests, and imaging studies.

What is the cost of the KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test?

At DNA Labs India, the cost of the KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test is INR 374.4. The test is covered under most health insurance plans.

Conclusion

The KOH Calcofluor White Preparation test is a simple and cost-effective test that can help diagnose fungal infections. If you experience any symptoms of a fungal infection, it is important to seek medical attention and get tested. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the spread of the infection and reduce the risk of complications.

Fungal infections are more common in immunocompromised patients. Direct examination provides an immediate early presumptive diagnosis and initiation of antifungal therapy.
