The role of mouthwash sampling in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis

2021-07-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The current practice of COVID-19 diagnosis worldwide is the use of oro-nasopharyngeal (ONP) swabs. Our study aim was to explore mouthwash (MW) as an alternative diagnostic method, in light of the disadvantages of ONP swabs. <h4>Methods</h4> Covid-19 outpatients molecular-confirmed by ONP-swab were repeatedly examined with ONP-swab and MW with normal-saline (0.9%). Other types of fluids were com...
