Let the patient's head tilt slightly, mouth open, and make "ah" sounds,exposing the pharyngeal tonsils on both sides. Hold the swab and gently wipe both sides of the patient's pharyngeal tonsils back and forth at least three times.
Let the patient's head relax naturally, carefully insert the swab in the patient’s nostril. Swab over the surface of the posterior nasopharynx and rotate the swab several times.Use the same swab, take specimens from the other nostril in the same way.
Wipe the rash exudate with a sterile swab.
Test Procedure
