Abstract
Direct examination for fungi in skin and nail scrapings can be done by light microscopy with or without staining, or by fluorescence microscopy using specific fluorochromes for the fungal cell wall constituents. The principal techniques described in the literature and two new methods (Congo red and Na2S-Blankophor P flüssig) were compared for their efficiency and rapidity.Entities:
