Equivalence of Self- and Staff-Collected Nasal Swabs for the Detection of Viral Respiratory Pathogens
BACKGROUND: The need for the timely collection of diagnostic biosamples during symptomatic episodes represents a major obstacle to large-scale studies on acute respiratory infection (ARI) epidemiology. This may be circumvented by having the participants collect their own nasal swabs. We compared sel...
