Transnasal swab testing for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 is well established. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advocates swabbing either of the anterior nares, middle turbinate, or nasopharynx for specimen collection depending on available local resources. The purpose of this review is to investigate complications related to transnasal SARS-CoV-2 testing with specific attention to specimen collection site and swab approach. The literature demonstrates that while nasopharyngeal swabbing is associated with an increased risk of complications, it should remain the gold-standard test due to greater diagnostic accuracy relative to anterior nasal and middle turbinate swabs.
经鼻拭子检测 SARS-CoV-2 已得到广泛应用。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）提倡根据当地资源情况，从前鼻腔、中鼻甲或鼻咽部采集样本进行拭子检测。本综述旨在探讨与经鼻 SARS-CoV-2 检测相关的并发症，特别关注标本采集部位和拭子采集方法。文献表明，虽然鼻咽拭子检测与并发症风险增加相关，但由于其相对于前鼻和中鼻甲拭子具有更高的诊断准确性，仍应作为金标准检测方法。
