Evaluation of human hair sources for the in vitro hair perforation test

I F Salkin et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1985 Dec.

Abstract

The in vitro hair perforation test for dermatophytes was evaluated with hair from males and females aged 6 months to 67 years, including hair of various natural colors and hair which had been bleached, tinted, curled, sprayed, or subjected to various combinations of these treatments. In contrast to published recommendations, the source of hair had no effect on this diagnostic procedure.
