北京での新しいコロナウイルスの流行の予防と管理に関する記者会見で, Shi Guoqing, 国民健康健康委員会の専門家であり、中国CDC緊急センターの副所長, 中咽頭スワブと鼻咽頭スワブは2つの方法のフルネームであると述べました. それらが標準的な方法で操作されている場合, there is essentially no difference, and they are all for collecting pharyngeal specimens.
The difference is that in order to collect pharyngeal specimens, one is from oral cavity and the other is from nasal cavity, so they are called oropharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal swab respectively.
In collecting samples of oropharyngeal swabs, the sampler can see the sampled parts, しかし吐き気を伴う可能性があります, 嘔吐およびその他の反応; When sampling nasopharyngeal swabs, if the operation is standardized, the sampling throat position can not be seen, which mainly depends on hand sensory resistance, with higher technical requirements and less irritation to mucous membranes, but the public’s acceptability is lower.
Because the virus content in pharynx is affected by time and other factors, the positive rate may be affected by oral swabs, but it is not necessary to carry out the two methods together.
Then what’s the difference between the 2 methods?
鼻腔スワブ: Put the swab into the nose and scrape it for sampling, and collect the mucous membrane or dropped tissue cells in the nasal cavity for inspection.
Throat swab: Put the swab into the throat, gently scrape the throat at the bottom of the throat, and collect the mucous membrane or dropped tissue cells of the throat for inspection.
The difference is that when there are different diseases or conditions, there will be different infection conditions or different substances in the samples of nose and throat. したがって, some diseases can be easily detected with nasal swabs and others with throat swabs. After that, the technical principles are basically the same. しかし, COVID-19 pneumonia is a lower respiratory disease, both of which are samples of upper respiratory tract, and there is no obvious difference in theory.
