KOH Prep and wet prep are both tests in microbiology. The KOH prep tests for fungal elements and yeast. The wet prep tests for yeast, tricomonas (a sexually transmitted parasite), and clue cells (which indicate the presence of a bacterial infection).

Is it necessary to follow up Gram staining with KOH test?

Gram staining allows you to visualize bacteria and cells. I would only follow a Gram stain with a KOH test if I didn't find anything pathogenic or interesting to look at on the Gram stained slide. The KOH test breaks down large structures (usually hairs) that may be holding or blocking the visualization of pathogenic organisms. It is very useful on skin scrapings to look for ringworm, but otherwise it's not that useful clinically.
