Comparison among nasopharyngeal swab, nasal wash, and oropharyngeal swab for respiratory virus detection in adults with acute pharyngitis
BACKGROUND Acute pharyngitis is frequently seen in primary care. Acute viral pharyngitis may be easily misdiagnosed as acute bacterial pharyngitis. Laboratory-confirmed diagnosis of respiratory viruses is recommended. The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivities among oropharyngeal swab (OPS), nasopharyngeal swab (NPS), and nasal wash (NW) in adults with acute pharyngitis. METHO...
متن کاملComparison among Nasopharyngeal Swab, Nasal Wash and Oropharyngeal Swab for Respiratory Viruses Detection in Adults with Acute Pharyngitis
Background: Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common illnesses for which patients visit primary care physicians. Its etiology is primarily viral in adults. Only about 10% of cases have a bacterial cause. Nonetheless, a total of 78-98% of adults with acute pharyngitis was treated with antibiotics. Thus, virological investigation prior to treating would support the appropriate use of antiviral...
متن کاملBimolecular identification of M.ovinpeumoniae from nasal swab samples of sheep from various districts of Balochistan, Pakistan
Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is an important respiratory pathogen of sheep across the world. In the present study nasal swab samples (n=778) were processed and 51isolates of M. ovipneumoniae were identified through biochemical tests and PCR. Difference in the isolation rate among districts (n=12), age groups (n=3), breads (n=6) was assessed. Similarly the isolate rate among healthy (n=513) and resp...

متن کاملComparative study of nasopharyngeal aspirate and nasal swab specimens for detection of influenza.
The neuraminidase inhibitors zanamivir and oseltamivir have been shown to be effective in the treatment of influenza A and B viral infections. Both of these drugs are ineffective against respiratory infections caused by other microbes. Although the onset of influenza is often abrupt with prominent systemic features, the clinical spectrum of this disease is extremely broad and it cannot be relia...
