Nasopharyngeal temperature was monitored continuously.
nasopharyngeal cancer
True nasopharyngeal absorption of zolmitriptan following administration of zolmitriptan nasal spray.
Lack of utility of serotyping multiple colonies for detection of simultaneous nasopharyngeal carriage of different pneumococcal serotypes.
As inflammation and infection are very common in the upper respiratory tract, mild hyperplasia is common in normal nasopharyngeal epithelium, and is a reversible mild lesion.
Studies of carriage, detected by culturing samples from a nasopharyngeal swab, can therefore provide important insights into the transmission dynamics of these organisms.
Carriage is detected by culturing from a nasopharyngeal swab, but the sensitivity of this technique is low and varies between studies.
Previous studies reported that viral excretion in faeces was two orders of magnitude greater than in nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens.
In studies of military recruits in 1974-1975, the meningococcal nasopharyngeal carriage rate was reported to be 13.7 %.
Earlier studies reported a higher nasopharyngeal carriage with both vaccine serotypes and non-vaccine serotypes than in adults.
