Comparison of mid-turbinate nasal and combined nasal-throat specimen types for detection of respiratory viruses in children
Background
The source of respiratory specimens may impact the detection of respiratory viruses. It may also have implications for research participant recruitment, caregiver acceptability due to concerns for patient comfort, and potential risk of aerosolization during epidemics/pandemics.
Objective
To determine the impact of collecting a throat swab (TS) in addition to a mid-turbinate nasal swab (MTS) by comparing agreement of viral detection and relative viral loads.
Study design
We reviewed molecular detection results from 2548 children enrolled in the New Vaccine Surveillance Network at Seattle Children’s Hospital from 11/2015–05/2019. Participants with a clinical MTS who agreed to collection of a combined TS and MTS (TS&MTS) for research were included. All specimens were tested using FilmArrayR Respiratory Panel (Biofire Diagnostics). Viral detection from MTS and TS&MTS were compared. Relative viral loads were compared between specimens with concordant (same viruses detected) and discordant (different or additional viruses detected) results.
Results
Results from 743 participants with clinical MTS and research TS&MTS specimens were compared; Viral detections were similar between the two groups, including 596 (80.2 %) paired results that were concordant. The most common discordant viruses were rhinovirus/enterovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and adenovirus. Mean relative viral loads were lower in discordant specimens compared to concordant specimens, regardless of specimen source.
Conclusion
Comparison of clinical and research specimens revealed that respiratory viral detection was similar with or without an added TS. Lower relative viral loads of discordant specimens suggest that a combined TS&MTS may not improve viral detection for clinically significant pathogens.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Virology, an esteemed international publication, serves as the official journal for both the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology and The European Society for Clinical Virology. Dedicated to advancing the understanding of human virology in clinical settings, the Journal of Clinical Virology focuses on disseminating research papers and reviews pertaining to the clinical aspects of virology. Its scope encompasses articles discussing diagnostic methodologies and virus-induced clinical conditions, with an emphasis on practicality and relevance to clinical practice.
The journal publishes on topics that include:
• new diagnostic technologies
• nucleic acid amplification and serologic testing
• targeted and metagenomic next-generation sequencing
• emerging pandemic viral threats
• respiratory viruses
• transplant viruses
• chronic viral infections
• cancer-associated viruses
• gastrointestinal viruses
• central nervous system viruses
• one health (excludes animal health)
