Title: Swabbing for respiratory viral infections in older patients: a comparison of rayon and nylon flocked swabs Document date: 2010_9_18
ID: ivu632j2_2
Snippet: As demonstrated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), viral detection is more demanding in the elderly than in young individuals, as older people tend to shed less virus and have shorter viral-shedding periods [7] . Hence, rapid viral antigen tests that are useful in children may fail in the elderly [8] . Due to its high sensitivity and specificity, realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on respiratory viral samples represents an important di.....
Document: As demonstrated with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), viral detection is more demanding in the elderly than in young individuals, as older people tend to shed less virus and have shorter viral-shedding periods [7] . Hence, rapid viral antigen tests that are useful in children may fail in the elderly [8] . Due to its high sensitivity and specificity, realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on respiratory viral samples represents an important diagnostic opportunity also in the older age groups.
