Used paper tissues for pathogen identification in acute respiratory infection
Used paper tissues for pathogen identification in acute respiratory infection
Abstract We investigated the potential of used paper tissues as a non-invasive sampling method for the diagnosis of acute respiratory infections. The method allowed the identification and typing of respiratory pathogens in symptomatic individuals, as well as in collective samples taken at a community level. The collection of used paper tissues could therefore be useful in epidemiological surveillance for SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens such as influenzavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, entero/rhinoviruses and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
