The virus is detected via a nasopharyngealswab, and by blood tests.
2
Cases of COVID-19 were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction method with nasopharyngealswab.
3
The nasopharyngealswab was an optimum specimen for RNA testing.
4
However, at discharge SARS-CoV-2 RNA could still be detected in the nasopharyngealswab and in the stools.
5
In both groups, the saliva tests and the nasopharyngealswab tests showed similar sensitivity for detecting the virus.
6
Clinical and laboratory parameters, a nasopharyngealswab, and serological results for respiratory viruses were obtained for all participants.
7
Methods: We used 96 nasopharyngealswab specimens for culturing respiratory viruses using R-mix (Diagnostics Hybrids Inc., USA).
8
Dr O'Sullivan said he is anticipating about 15 percent of people who turn up will need the nasopharyngealswab test.
9
A nasopharyngealswab contributed in 60.5% of the cases to an early diagnosis.
10
Currently, children must undergo the same invasive procedure as adults -a nasopharyngealswab reaching 7cm into the head through the nose.
11
Methods: We collected a single nasopharyngealswab from 142 HIV-infected children aged 1-14 years over a 2-month period.
12
Gram stain examination of nasopharyngealswab samples showed a significant relation between leukocyte infiltration and the detection amount of S. pneumoniae (P = 0.0086).
13
Furthermore, 66 nasopharyngealswabs were tested to determine the diagnostic performances.
14
Nasopharyngealswabs were obtained and tested for viruses in symptomatic residents.
15
Study design: We collected 191 nasopharyngealswabs from patients with cold-like symptoms in Japan.
16
Nasopharyngealswabs were collected from each child at four times.
