Definition from
CBC Canada:
A nasopharyngeal swab can look like an extra-long Q-Tip or a plastic wand with a collection surface on the end. It is inserted up the nose, far back where the health-care professional collects a sample by swabbing. This is the method preferred by the World Health Organization in testing for COVID-19. However, there is another method of collection available to health-care professionals: an oropharyngeal swab. Instead of going up a patient's nose, the sample is collected orally at the back of a patient's throat.
Example sentences:
In the case of an oropharyngeal swab, should both pharyngeal pillars and tonsils be swabbed? (The BMJ)
Based on the SHERLOCK method, which stands for Specific High-sensitivity Enzymatic Reporter unLOCKing, the kit works by programming a CRISPR molecule to detect the presence of a specific genetic signature of SARS-CoV-2 in nasal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, oropharyngeal swab or bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimen. When the signature is found, the CRISPR enzyme is activated and releases a detectable signal. If the virus’s genetic material is found, a CRISPR enzyme generates a fluorescent glow.

A wing of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), the VRDL is normally engaged in research of communicable viral diseases like dengue, malaria and works from 10am to 4.30pm.

Definition from
nurse 24:
ampone orofaringeo<br /><br />Per effettuare una diagnosi iniziale di infezione da SARS-CoV-2 i Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) raccomandano di prelevare ed analizzare un campione delle alte vie respiratorie. I campioni possibili possono essere prelevati tramite un tampone: nasofaringeo, orofaringeo, nasale profondo (dei turbinati medi), nasale.
Example sentences:
Esecuzione Tampone oro-faringeo. Invitare il paziente a piegare la testa all’indietro e aprire bene la bocca. Se necessario, usare un abbassalingua sterile. Inserire il tampone tra i pilastri tonsillari e dietro l’ugola. Strofinare la zona retro-tonsillare (oro-faringe). Evitare che il tampone si contamini con la saliva, evitando il contatto del tampone con la lingua, le guance o le arcate dentarie. Una volta terminato il tampone il bastoncino va inserito nella provetta contenente il terreno di trasporto e spezzato. (associare news)

: Ovviamente il naso o rinofaringeo non sono la stessa cosa dell'orofaringeo, come ci suggerisce l'etimologia
