Title: Comparative study of nasopharyngeal aspirate and nasal swab specimens for diagnosis of acute viral respiratory infection. Cord-id: jxirw6ji Document date: 2008_1_1
ID: jxirw6ji
Snippet: Paired nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) and nasal swab (NS) samples from 475 children hospitalized for acute respiratory infection were studied for the detection of influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus by immunofluorescence test, viral culture, and multiplex PCR assay. The overall sensitivity of viral detection with NPA specimens was higher than that obtained with NS specimens.
