COVID-19 Throat Swab Test
COVID-19 Throat Swab Test
Throat/Oropharyngeal Swabs for Viral Sample Collection
The development of diagnostic tests for COVID-19 is rapidly progressing, and up to now the molecular test, based on amplification by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction of viral RNA isolated from nasopharyngeal and/or oropharyngeal swabs, remains the first‐level diagnostic test to assess the current COVID‐19 infection status.
Oropharyngeal swabs can be used for the purpose of viral sample collection for the diagnosis of Covid-19 in adults and children. A swab test typically involves the use of a sterile dacron or rayon swab with a plastic shaft to collect a sample, in contrast to an aspirate or wash which uses a syringe with a flexible catheter to extract a sample.
