为了确定鼻拭子作为检测呼吸道病毒的简单方法的有用性，我们比较了从 230 名上呼吸道感染儿童的对侧鼻孔同时获取的鼻拭子和鼻咽抽吸物。对于检测除呼吸道合胞病毒外的所有主要呼吸道病毒，鼻拭子的敏感性与鼻咽抽吸物相当。
To determine the usefulness of nasal swabs as a simple method for detection of respiratory viruses, we compared nasal swabs and nasopharyngeal aspirates obtained at the same time from the opposite nostrils of 230 children with upper respiratory infection. The sensitivity of nasal swabs was comparable to that of nasopharyngeal aspirates for the detection of all major respiratory viruses except respiratory syncytial virus.
