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

Hair Root C/S for Fungus is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Hair Root C/S for Fungus result rather than self-diagnosing.
