Covid-19: Sampling, Transport and Storage

Abstract

Accurate collection and transportation of patient samples that meet the definition of suspicious patients are extremely important in the diagnosis of Covid-19. For this purpose, guidelines compatible with the infection prevention and control guidelines published by the World Health Organization have been developed. In this section, applications for Covid-19 sampling, methods, timing and transfer will be shared with current guides.

Abstract

Covid-19 tanısında şüpheli hasta tanımına uyan hasta örneklerinin doğru bir şekilde alınması ve transportu son derece önemlidir. Bu amaçla Dünya Sağlık Örgütünün yayınladığı enfeksiyon önleme ve kontrol klavuzlarına uyumlu rehberler geliştirilmiştir. Bu bölümde Covid-19 örnek alımı, yöntemleri, zamanlaması ve transferine yönelik uygulamalar güncel rehberler eşliğinde paylaşılacaktır.
