BakoDx’s Web Space PCR test helps identify the infectious agents involved in web space dermatitis. This highly sensitive and highly specific test provides podiatric clinicians with ease of use, rapid results, and an accurate diagnostic method. The test utilizes real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology to detect the causative agent within the web space keratin when present, resulting in the clinically identified dermatitis. The panel tests for fungi, dermatophytes, Candida SPP bacteria, Corynebacterium minutissimum, gram-negative bacteria, and Staphylococcus aureus. Interdigital infectious dermatitis may be due to a variety of organisms that look similar, but their treatment differs. Differential diagnosis may include Corynebacterium minutissimum in erythrasma, tinea pedis, candidal intertrigo, primary or secondary bacterial infections, and non-infectious etiologies including web space eczema or psoriasis. There is also a growing awareness of gram-negative bacterial web space infections.
