Potassium hydroxide (KOH) examination of cerebrospinal fluid includes treating the cerebrospinal fluid specimen with KOH. KOH is a strong base that dissolves tissues and cells partially. Fungus contains chitin and is therefore resistant to KOH treatment. Fungus infection, therefore, can be detected through a microscope.
