Is nasopharyngeal swab comparable with nasopharyngeal aspirate to detect SARS-CoV-2 in children?	2020-07-05		.txt	text/plain	859	76	61	title: Is nasopharyngeal swab comparable with nasopharyngeal aspirate to detect SARS-CoV-2 in children? Since the use of nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA) seemed to be better than nasopharyngeal swab (NS) to identify respiratory virus in paediatrics 4,5 we decided to compare these methods in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in children. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.07.02.20142521 doi: medRxiv preprint Considering NPA as the gold standard for detection of SARS-CoV-2, we calculated sensitivities and specificities of NS. The NS has in any case a low sensitivity in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in children when referred to NPA. Our results, the first we know are available, suggest to prefer the collection of NPA whenever possible for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in children.
