DOI: 10.1111/jpc.15405
Abstract: The diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) depends on accurate and rapid testing. Choosing an appropriate sample may impact diagnosis. Naso‐oropharyngeal swabs (NOS) are most frequently used, despite several limitations. Since studies suggest nasopharyngeal aspirate… read more here.
