Comparison of Throat Washings, Nasopharyngeal Swabs and Oropharyngeal Swabs for Detection of SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA is detected by reverse-transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) from respiratory specimens. This study compares throat washings (TW), nasopharyngeal swabs (NS) and oropharyngeal swabs (OS).

Comparison of Sputum and Nasopharyngeal Swabs for Detection of Respiratory Viruses [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, 2014
Diagnostic tests for respiratory viral infections use traditionally either nasopharyngeal washes or swabs. Sputum is representative of the lower respiratory tract but is used rarely for viral testing. The aim of this study was to compare the detection rates of respiratory viruses from nasopharyngeal swabs and sputum using a multiplex real-time reverse ...

Nasopharyngeal Swabs in Pediatric Patients With Thrombocytopenia and Anticoagulant Use

Journal of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, 2023
Background: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabbing is a technique that is commonly used to test pediatric patients for viral infections with increased use during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Complications from NP swabbing are rare and seem to occur more frequently in patients at risk of bleeding.

Complications in Testing for COVID-19 with Nasopharyngeal Swabs: The Severance of a Nasopharyngeal Swab in a 13-Month-Old Toddler and Review of Literature

Frontiers in Medical Case Reports, 2022
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of nasopharyngeal smears increased enormously to detect SARSCoV-2 and consequently break the chain of infection. Yet, only a few cases of complications during the collection of smears are reported. This case report describes the treatment of a toddler who presented in our pediatric emergency ward

Anterior nasal swabs compared to nasopharyngeal swabs for detection of respiratory viruses in children

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease
Respiratory viral testing often uses invasive nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, which can be painful and require trained personnel. Anterior nasal swabs (NS) are less invasive and can be self-collected. The sensitivity of NS compared to NP specimens for detecting multiple respiratory viruses in children are not well described.
