SPENCER S, Gaglani M, Naleway A, Reynolds S, et al. Consistency of influenza A test results across respiratory specimen collection methods using real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. J Clin Microbiol. 2013 Oct 9.
In our prospective cohort study, we compared the performance of nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and nasal swabs for the detection of influenza using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assay. Joint consideration of results from oropharyngeal and nasal swabs performed as well as nasopharyngeal alone as measured by sensitivity and noninferiority analysis.
