Rapid confirmation of onychomycosis is desirable to differentiate it from nonfungal causes of nail dystrophy and to initiate appropriate therapy. In this study, we compared the performance of Chicago Sky Blue (CSB) stain with that of routine potassium hydroxide (KOH) preparation, using culture as the standard, in the diagnosis of onychomycosis.
