谢谢! Now we will review the serological and respiratory sample collection process in detail with illustrations. We will follow each lecture segment with a demonstration. Then, at the end of this session, you will have an opportunity to practice each skill. We will now review the serological and respiratory sample collection process in greater detail starting with the most important specimen to collect, the Oropharynegeal (Throat) Swab. This is the most important specimen to collect. Easy to do Highest yield in detecting avian influenza in suspected cases Have the patient open his/her mouth wide open. The patient should try to resist gagging and closing the mouth while the swab touches the back of the throat near the tonsils. First, we will describe how to collect a nasopharyngeal aspirate. The first step is to attach the mucus trap to a vacuum source. Next, place the catheter into nostril parallel to the palate. Apply vacuum, and slowly remove the catheter while slightly rotating it. Repeat the process with other nostril, using the same catheter. After specimen collection, flush the catheter with 3 milliliters of VTM and return the VTM to a plastic vial. You will need to use a specimen tracking system to keep track of the specimens at all times. The particular specimen tracking system will vary by country. However, here are some guidelines. It is advisable to maintain a database that contains information about each sample, including the identification or tracking number as we just illustrated on the sample field data collection form, subject information, and when and where a sample was collected. Results from diagnostic testing should also be entered into the database. The ID number used to track the specimens should be the same ID number that is put on all epidemiologic data collection instruments in order to maintain an individual-level linkage between laboratory and epidemiologic data.
