SARS-COV-2 Detection From Used Surgical Mask

NCT06027398 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 269

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is regarded as the gold standard for SARS-CoV-2 detection. Proper specimen collection and obtaining a sufficient sample are the most important steps for laboratory diagnosis. The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab is recommended as the reference collection method. However, NP swab collection is invasive and uncomfortable for patients and poses some risk to healthcare workers. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection from used surgical masks with the NP swab method using RT-PCR testing
