FDAは、鼻腔スワブを必要とする在宅COVID-19検査の誤った使用に対して警告します

2022-01-06

バイラルソーシャルメディアの投稿は、喉を拭くとより正確なCOVID-19テストが得られると言います. FDAはそれが危険である可能性があると警告しています.

オースティン, テキサス — ソーシャル メディアのトレンドの後, アメリカ. 食品医薬品局 (FDA) 自宅での COVID-19 検査のために喉を拭く際の安全上の懸念について警告します.
パンデミックのほとんどを通して, many at-home tests required swabbing nostrils for COVID-19. Other tests have included saliva in a tube, a less invasive nose swab and others.

しかし, with the new omicron variant, some experts are recommending those being tested also swab their throats. This comes after the FDA said at-home COVID-19 test have reduced sensitivity to omicron.

Since then, adding 喉の綿棒 to self-administered tests has gained attention on social media. Epidemiologist Michael Mina retweeted someone who tested negative multiple times through 鼻腔スワブ tests but then tested positive when adding a throat swab.

He posted on Twitter saying that symptoms start early with omicron, and there’s a chance the virus isn’t growing in the nose but could start further down in places like the throat. そう, he recommends adding a throat swab.

しかし, the FDA cautions against this advice.

In a statement to KVUE, they said the COVID-19 test should be used as the instructions state.

The FDA advises that COVID-19 tests should be used as authorized, including following their instructions for use regarding obtaining the sample for testing,” said a spokesperson for the agency. “The FDA has noted safety concerns regarding self-collection of throat swabs, as they are more complicated than nasal swabs – and if used incorrectly, can cause harm to the patient. The CDC recommends that throat swabs be collected by a trained healthcare provider.
