Clinical Utility of Buccal Swabs for Sars-Cov-2 Detection in Covid-19-Infected Children.

ABSTRACT: SARS-CoV-2 was detected from at least 1 buccal specimen in 9 out of 11 COVID-19-infected children (81.8%). The viral loads in buccal specimens were substantially lower than those in nasopharyngeal specimens. Buccal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 are not good as screening specimens for COVID-19 in children.
