Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs are generally used to detect respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in infants. However, midturbinate (MT) swabs may provide comparable results. In this study, we enrolled hospitalized infants aged <24 months with RSV and collected NP and MT swabs. The resulting viral loads measured by real-time reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction were similar. Most parents preferred MT swabs over NP swabs.
鼻咽（NP）拭子通常用于检测婴儿中的呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）。然而，中鼻甲（MT）拭子可能提供类似的结果。在这项研究中，我们招募了患有 RSV 的住院婴儿，年龄<24 个月，并收集了 NP 和 MT 拭子。实时逆转录定量聚合酶链反应测量的病毒载量相似。大多数父母更喜欢 MT 拭子而不是 NP 拭子。
