Article Description

Provider-performed microscopy (PPM) is a diagnostic tool recommended when patients present with several types of gynecologic infections or fungal infections of skin or nails. PPM allows for immediate and accurate treatment, and can strengthen the relationship between clinician and patient. This article reviews two microscopy techniques, the saline wet mount and the potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation, and discusses their indications for use.
