Overview of the KOH Examination for CSF Test  

Fungus is a microbe that is present either as one-celled yeast or as filamentous molds. Some fungi are pathogenic and cause infection of the skin, lungs, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, etc., the main one being fungal meningitis. Detection of a specific type of fungal infection helps in guiding treatment options. 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.
