Specimens processed with extraction solution of Dermatophyte Test Strip can be used for direct microscopy

Abstract

Dermatophyte Test Strip is a recently developed product that permits the detection of dermatophyte antigens in samples such as scales and nails by immunochromatography using monoclonal antibodies that react with dermatophytes.¹ This test strip is useful clinically because it does not require special devices or skills and can detect dermatophyte antigens from clinical samples within a short period of time.
