The survival of dermatophytes from tape strippings of skin

Pages 145-148 | Published online: 09 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

The isolation of dermatophytes from skin strippings on vinyl tape decreased with length of storage. In addition, the time taken for growth to appear increased with storage.

The survival of dermatophytes on skin strippings was at least as good as in conventional skin scrapings.

Das Ueberleben der Dermatophyten auf Hautabrissen war mindestens so gut wie das nach der konventionellen Methode.
