The Five Minute Fungal Test

Struggling with fungal nail infection?

Difficulty in getting a positive culture?

Did you know that we use a five minute fungal test to diagnose and treat fungal nail infections?

A podiatrist is able to collect samples which are taken from the suspected infection area. It is then added to a buffer solution and a test strip is placed into the test tube where it detects the presence, or absence, of dermatophytes - using a lateral flow immunoassay intended to detect dermatophyte derived antigens.

If you would like your nails assessed tested and appropriate treatment in an appointment.

Call the clinc today to get booked in.
