We compared self-collected oral fluid swab specimens with and without clinician supervision, clinician-supervised self-collected anterior nasal swab specimens, and clinician-collected nasopharyngeal swab specimens for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Supervised oral fluid and nasal swab specimens performed similarly to clinician-collected nasopharyngeal swab specimens. No sample type could detect SARS-CoV-2 infections amongst all positive participants.
我们比较了有和没有临床医生监督的自我采集口腔液拭子标本、有临床医生监督的自我采集前鼻拭子标本和临床医生采集的鼻咽拭子标本,以检测严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)。有监督的口腔液和鼻腔拭子标本与临床医生采集的鼻咽拭子标本表现相似。没有任何一种样本类型能够检测到所有阳性参与者中的 SARS-CoV-2 感染。
