Title: Added value of an oropharyngeal swab in detection of viruses in children hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infection. Cord-id: tssxfo21 Document date: 2011_1_1
ID: tssxfo21
Snippet: Paired nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs collected from 533 children hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infection were assessed by multiplex reverse transcription-PCR. Oropharyngeal swabs increased the number of viral infections detected by 15%, compared to collection of a nasopharyngeal swab alone. This advantage was most pronounced for detection of influenza, parainfluenza, and adenovirus.
