nasal aspirate specimens. It is intended to aid in the rapid differential diagnosis of influenza A and B viral infections.
Nasopharyngeal Swab sample
Insert a sterilized swab into a nasal cavity securely from a nostril and collect mucoepidermis wiping turbinate several times. Pharyngeal swab sample insert a sterilized swab into pharynx and collect mucoepidermis mainly wiping flare region of post-pharyngeal wall and palatine tonsil several times, and be careful not to make saliva attach to the swab. Nasopharyngeal aspirate Connect an aspiration catheter to an aspiration trap that is attached to an aspiration device, insert the catheter to nasal cavity from a nostril, start the aspiration device and then collect nasal aspirate sample. Dip a sterilized swab into the collected nasal aspirate sample and make the specimen cling to the swab.
Influenza (commonly known as ‘flu’) is a highly contagious, acute viral infection of the respiratory tract .It is a communicable disease easily transmitted through the coughing and sneezing of aerosolized droplets containing live virus.1 Influenza outbreaks occur each year during the fall and winter months.
