Bald Patches, Crusty Skin, or Circular Lesions? Test for Ringworm Fast.

Ringworm is a contagious fungal infection that causes hair loss, scaly skin, and circular lesions in dogs and cats — and it can spread to humans. The Kedi Labs Ringworm PCR Test delivers results in 48–72 hours, compared to the 2–4 weeks required for traditional fungal cultures.

What's Included

Test Target Type Why It Matters
Dermatophyte Fungi (Ringworm Species) Fungus Detects the fungal organisms responsible for ringworm using highly sensitive PCR technology — far more accurate and faster than traditional culture.

Sample Requirements

Swab: Collect a sample from the affected area using the supplied collection materials (hair/skin/swab).

Pro Tip: Sample from the edge of the lesion where the infection is most active, not the center. Include broken hairs and skin flakes for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pet has ringworm?
Look for circular bald patches, scaly or crusty skin, broken hairs, and redness. In cats, ringworm may appear as patchy hair loss without obvious irritation.

Can ringworm spread to humans?
Yes. Ringworm is zoonotic, meaning it can transfer from pets to people. Early detection and treatment protects your whole family.

Why PCR instead of fungal culture?
Traditional cultures take 2–4 weeks. PCR testing delivers results in 48–72 hours with greater accuracy.

WHEN TO TEST

If your pet exhibits any of these common symptoms:

  • Skin Lesions: Ringworm infections often present with circular, red, scaly, or raised lesions on the skin. These lesions may be itchy or painful.
  • Hair Loss: Pets with ringworm may experience localized or generalized hair loss in the affected areas. The hair loss can create bald patches on the skin.
  • Circular or Irregular Rashes: Ringworm rashes can vary in appearance but are often characterized by circular or irregular patterns on the skin.
  • Crusty or Scabby Skin: Infected areas may develop crusts or scabs, especially if the pet has been scratching or licking the affected areas.
  • Itching and Discomfort: Pets with ringworm may exhibit signs of itching, discomfort, or irritation in the infected areas.
  • Secondary Infections: Ringworm can lead to secondary bacterial infections in the skin, which may cause additional symptoms such as pus-filled lesions or an increase in redness and inflammation.
  • Hair Shaft Changes: In long-haired pets, the hair shafts in the affected areas may become brittle or break easily.
  • Fungal Culture Challenges: If standard fungal culture tests are inconclusive or take an extended period to provide results, a PCR panel can offer a quicker and more accurate diagnosis.
  • Suspected Ringworm Exposure: If a pet has been in contact with an environment or other animals known to have ringworm, diagnostic testing may be necessary even before symptoms appear.
  • Suspected Zoonotic Risk: Ringworm can be transmitted from pets to humans (zoonotic), making it important to diagnose and treat cases in pets to prevent human infections.

THE POWER OF PCR TESTING

PCR tests are exceptional because they detect very small amounts of genetic material from pathogens or abnormal cells, so a small sample is all that is needed to complete a lab test. A testing machine measures the amount of genetic material in the sample to determine how much of the pathogen or abnormal cell is present.  PCR tests are very accurate and sensitive for diagnosing diseases or finding genetic changes that can cause disease.

PCR tests are also very fast, which is why Kedi Labs offers them to our customers. Our mission is to offer affordable, fast pre-screening labs for pet owners to ensure that patients needing care urgently are seen quickly by their veterinarians.  We are committed to making a positive impact in the field of veterinary care and making quality veterinary care more accessible to pet owners.
