A combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab is more sensitive than mouthwash in detecting SARS-CoV-2 by a high-throughput PCR assay	2020-09-27		.txt	text/plain	1072	104	65	title: A combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab is more sensitive than mouthwash in detecting SARS-CoV-2 by a high-throughput PCR assay Conclusions: Mouthwash is not as sensitive as combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab in detecting upper respiratory tract infection. We compared mouthwash fluid with a 24 combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab regarding test performance. We compared mouthwash fluid with a 24 combined oro-nasopharyngeal swab regarding test performance. A meta-53 analysis of different SARS-CoV-2 studies showed the highest detection rates in Expected shortages of swabs led us to assess alternative diagnostic specimens. In 59 this study, we compared test performance when using mouthwash or a combined oro-60 nasopharyngeal swab. This may limit its use in patients 144 to minimize exposure of health-care personel.In conclusion, SARS-CoV2 detection 145 with mouthwash showed a low sensitivity compared to oro-nasopharyngeal swabs.	./cache/cord-305521-lkou3ycu.txt	./txt/cord-305521-lkou3ycu.txt
