Abstract:Respiratory virus infection is one of the main causes of common respiratory diseases.This article aims to summarize and discuss the elements of quality control of the pre-processing of respiratory virus samples, and to provide reference and guidance for clinical respiratory virus sample pre-processing programs.The main points of the quality control on the pretreatment of respiratory virus clinical testing are reviewed in this essay, including 4 main aspects-the type of specimen, collection, transportation and storage.According to the analysis, the applicable conditions of various types of specimens and swab materials, as well as the requirements for the collection, transportation and storage of respiratory virus samples, are obtained.Among them, nasopharyngeal swab specimens are the key specimen types.At present, in the selection of specimen types for respiratory virus samples, nasopharyngeal swab is the best sample type.Multiple types of specimens can also be used in combination.For example, nasopharyngeal swab and oropharyngeal swabs, saliva specimens, and sputum specimens can improve the sensitivity and accuracy of detection.To the actual clinical situation, it has certain value.In addition, this article also explains the possibility of new specimen types being put into clinical testing.
