Correlation between histopathologic features and likelihood of identifying superficial dermatophytosis with periodic acid Schiff-diastase staining: a cohort study
Periodic acid Schiff-diastase (PAS-D) staining is used routinely in dermatopathology. Conventionally, parakeratosis or intracorneal neutrophils justify use of PAS-D stain to identify dermatophytosis. We aimed to investigate the histopathological features of superficial dermatophytosis.
