What is Hair Root C/S for Fungus?

A hair root Culture and Sensitivity (C/S) test for fungus is performed to diagnose fungal infections affecting the scalp or hair roots, such as tinea capitis. Hair samples, including roots and associated scalp debris, are collected from infected areas using sterile forceps or scissors.

These samples are sent to a lab for fungal culture to identify the specific fungus causing the infection and determine its sensitivity to antifungal medications. The test is non-invasive and painless.

Patients should avoid using antifungal treatments before the test to ensure accuracy. Results typically take a few weeks and guide targeted treatment to address the fungal infection effectively.

What to expect & how to prepare

A culture test looks for bacteria or other organisms in a sample and checks which antibiotics act against them. The sample is incubated in the laboratory, so this test needs more time than a routine blood report.

• Antibiotics: tell the laboratory if you have already started an antibiotic — it can change the result. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
• Sample collection: the correct sample and the way it is collected depend on the site being tested; the laboratory will instruct you or collect it for you.
• Timing: culture results take longer than routine tests because the organisms must grow first. Ask the laboratory when your report is expected.

Interpreted together with your symptoms — antibiotic choice should be made by a registered doctor, not from the report alone.
