Hair & Nail Panel

At Promus Diagnostics, we understand the critical role that molecular diagnostics play in identifying and managing a wide range of infections affecting the hair and nails. Hair and nail infections, while often considered less serious than other medical conditions, can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life and overall well-being. These infections can arise from various sources, including fungi, bacteria, and sometimes even viruses. Our state-of-the-art molecular diagnostic tests are designed to provide precise and rapid identification of the causative agents, enabling healthcare professionals to tailor treatment strategies effectively. With our commitment to accuracy and innovation, we empower clinicians and patients to address hair and nail infections with confidence and precision.

Nail Infections

Fungal nail infections, such as onychomycosis, are among the most prevalent conditions affecting the nails, with millions of individuals seeking treatment annually. These infections often result from dermatophyte fungi invading the nails, leading to symptoms like thickened, discolored, or brittle nails. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for determining the appropriate antifungal therapy. At Promus Diagnostics, our molecular diagnostic tests can identify the specific fungal species responsible for the infection, allowing healthcare providers to prescribe targeted treatments that improve the chances of successful resolution. Our commitment to delivering reliable and timely results ensures that patients receive the right treatment to restore the health and appearance of their nails.

Hair Follicle Infections

Hair follicle infections, such as folliculitis or furuncles, can cause discomfort and skin irritation. These infections can occur due to bacterial or fungal pathogens entering hair follicles, resulting in painful, pustule-filled bumps on the skin. Molecular diagnostics play a vital role in distinguishing between bacterial and fungal hair follicle infections, guiding the selection of appropriate antibiotics or antifungal treatments. Promus Diagnostics offers advanced molecular testing that can quickly and accurately identify the causative agents, enabling healthcare professionals to recommend the most effective therapies for clearing these infections. Our commitment to precision and efficiency ensures that patients receive the targeted care they need to alleviate symptoms and prevent the recurrence of hair and nail infections.
