Comparison of fungal fluorescent staining and ITS rDNA PCR ‐based sequencing with conventional methods for the diagnosis of onychomycosis
6 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current gold standard for diagnosing onychomycosis is direct microscopic examination and culturing. Fungal culture is a time-consuming procedure, while direct microscopy of potassium hydroxide (KOH) mounts suffers from low sensitivity. More rapid and sensitive methods for the diagnosis of onychomycosis are in high demand. OBJECTIVE: To establish an effective method for the diagnosis of...
