Abstract

ABSTRACT A nylon flocked swab/universal transport medium collection method developed for bacterial sexually transmitted infections was adapted to detect respiratory viruses in infants and toddlers. This method significantly outperformed the traditional use of nasal aspirates in terms of PCR-based virus detection ( P = 0.016), and the samples were easier for clinicians to evaluate, store, and transport.
