Direct examination of the sample is performed with |
10% KOH |
|
begins at the root of the hair, moves through the hair shaft and is displayed externally further up the hair |
Endothrix invasion |
|
Ectothrix infections are caused by |
Microsporum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, rubrum and verrucosum. |
|
