Diagnostic values of KOH examination, histological examination, and culture for onychomycosis: a latent class analysis
ConclusionsBased on these results, we have proposed KOH as a screening test and GMS as a confirmatory test for the diagnosis of onychomycosis in our own practice. However, since positivity rates of different diagnostic methods vary widely in different centers, it is more suitable that every center should determine their own diagnostic strategy by evaluating their own results with latent class analysis.
