title: [Diagnosis of dermatomycoses using the sellotape-KOH method].
abstract: In a group of 84 adult male workers in an industrial plant, who used a common shower room, the applicability of the adhesive tape-KOH technique for routine mycologic examination was investigated. The tape technique was compared with the conventional cover slip technique in interdigital and plantar lesions. The tape technique gave more frequent positive results than the cover slip technique (74% and 57% respectively). However, examination of the tapes was more difficult than that of the cover slips. The latter method therefore appears more appropriate for routine microscopical mycologic examination.
