Title: A Prospective Study Comparing Self-Collected Nasal Swabs to Oral Washes for Monitoring Viral Load Kinetics in Lung Transplant Recipients With Respiratory Virus Infection
  • Document date: 2016_10_24

    Snippet: Background. Respiratory virus infection (RVI) in lung transplant recipients (LTR) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Development of a patient-acceptable self-sampling method for respiratory specimens could facilitate longitudinal and community-based assessment of RVI epidemiology and viral kinetics, but the optimal specimen type is unknown. The goal of this study was to prospectively compare daily patient self-collected foam .....
    Document: Background. Respiratory virus infection (RVI) in lung transplant recipients (LTR) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Development of a patient-acceptable self-sampling method for respiratory specimens could facilitate longitudinal and community-based assessment of RVI epidemiology and viral kinetics, but the optimal specimen type is unknown. The goal of this study was to prospectively compare daily patient self-collected foam nasal swabs to oral washes for monitoring sequential viral load in LTRs with symptomatic RVI.
