Abstract:
In addition to morphological diagnostics, molecular methods have become available for the diagnosis of suspected dermatophytoses. Since March 2016, INSTAND e. V., in cooperation with the National Reference Laboratory for Dermatophytes, has provided an external quality assessment (EQA) test for the genome detection of dermatophytes twice a year. More than half of the participants used commercial kits for the analysis of the samples. All kits with a high level of accuracy correctly determined the presence of Trichophyton rubrum or no dermatophytes. In species diagnostics beyond Trichophyton rubrum there are large differences between the kits. These are examined in more detail based on clinical studies and the results of the EQA test.
