在11名2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）感染儿童中，有9名（81.8%）从至少1份口腔标本中检出严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）。口腔标本中的病毒载量显著低于鼻咽标本。口腔拭子不适合作为儿童COVID-19筛查标本。
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected from at least 1 buccal specimen in 9 of 11 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-infected children (81.8%). Viral loads in buccal specimens were substantially lower than those in nasopharyngeal specimens. Buccal swabs are not good as COVID-19 screening specimens in children.
