    Snippet: Methods. LTR with clinically diagnosed, laboratory-confirmed RVI were eligible. After informed consent, research coordinators demonstrated collection technique and provided written instructions. Patients self-collected daily paired nasal swabs and oral washes for 14 days after initial RVI diagnosis, and samples were given directly to coordinators (inpatients) or mailed to the laboratory (outpatients).

    Document: Methods. LTR with clinically diagnosed, laboratory-confirmed RVI were eligible. After informed consent, research coordinators demonstrated collection technique and provided written instructions. Patients self-collected daily paired nasal swabs and oral washes for 14 days after initial RVI diagnosis, and samples were given directly to coordinators (inpatients) or mailed to the laboratory (outpatients). Samples were tested using a validated, published laboratory-developed real-time PCR assay. Samples with cycle threshold (Ct) values >40 were considered negative. We used descriptive statistics and patient reports of acceptability to compare the two methods.
