Description
The Fungal Culture, Hair test is designed to detect fungal infections affecting the hair and scalp. This test is particularly useful in diagnosing conditions such as tinea capitis (scalp ringworm) and other fungal infections of the hair shaft. The culture involves incubating hair samples to allow for the growth and identification of fungal species. Results help differentiate between various types of fungi, including dermatophytes like Trichophyton and Microsporum species. This information is crucial for selecting appropriate antifungal treatments and determining the duration of therapy. The test is often performed in cases of persistent scalp scaling, hair loss, or suspected fungal infections of the hair.
