pubmed:abstractText |
The current laboratory methods for diagnosing fungal infections of the nails are the potassium hydroxide (KOH) scraping technique and fungal culture. However, due to the long incubation period required for fungal culture and the reported rate of approximately 30% false negative results observed when using these methods, a quick and highly specific screening test for diagnosing onychomycosis is urgently needed.
