Saliva and throat swab are more reliable for omicron
Rapid nose swab tests for COVID-19 may not detect Omicron quickly enough, says
Swabbing the nose with a rapid antigen test will not reliably detect the Omicron variant in the first few days of an infection, so manufacturers should seek US approval to allow users to safely collect samples from the throat as well, according to an infectious diseases expert.
The US Food and Drug Administration has expressed concerns over the safety of self throat swabbing.
People can already transmit Omicron to others when it has infected their throat and saliva but before the virus reaches their nose, so swabbing the nostrils too early in the course of infection will not pick it up, Dr Michael Mina, formerly of the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health and now chief science officer at eMed, said during a news conference on Thursday.
A study released on Wednesday on medRxiv ahead of peer review looked at 29 Omicron-infected workers in high-risk professions who had PCR and antigen tests done simultaneously on multiple days. The PCR tests of saliva detected the virus on average three days before the rapid nose-swab samples became positive.
" When people test negative by rapid antigen, they can still have very infectious viral loads and transmit to other people," said study leader Blythe Adamson of New York-based risk reduction company Infectious Economics LLC.
A positive antigen test is very reliable, Mina noted.
On social media, some experts have advised antigen-test users to swab the throat before swabbing the nose. The FDA, however, said users should follow manufacturers' instructions.
The agency said there are safety concerns regarding self-collection of throat swabs, " as they are more complicated than nasal swabs, and if used incorrectly, can cause harm to the patient."
" The CDC recommends that throat swabs be collected by a trained healthcare provider," the FDA said.
Before the FDA would approve at-home throat swabbing, manufacturers would need to conduct studies to show that consumers could safely perform the tests, and provide detailed instructions with each test kit, Mina said, adding that people go against the FDA' s advice " at their own risk."
He noted that testing kits provided to consumers in the UK do include instructions for swabbing the throat. While it is important to follow the FDA' s guidance, he said, " we also need to follow the science."
Research shows that COVID-19 symptoms appear earlier with Omicron than with other variants.
" When you feel symptoms, assume you' re positive," but wait to use the antigen tests until a few days have passed, advised Mina, whose company develops technology to verify antigen test results.
The tests " are detecting Omicron just fine" once it has invaded the nose, he said.
Peru reports first death from flurona - an infection of both the flu and Covid-
LIMA (XINHUA) - Peru' s Health Ministry has reported the country' s first fatal case of " flurona" - a simultaneous infection of flu and Covid-19 - involving an 87-year-old patient with co-morbidities who was not vaccinated against the coronavirus.
The deceased was one of three cases of flurona detected in northern Peru' s Amazonas region, according to Dr Cesar Munayco, a researcher at the ministry' s National Centre for Epidemiology, Prevention and Control of Diseases.
The other two cases were a minor and a 40-year-old person who was fully vaccinated against Covid-19, he said.
Those infected presented symptoms such as cough, sore throat and general malaise, Dr Munayco said, urging the public to get vaccinated against Covid-19 and influenza because that " reduces the risk of dying" .
" It is important to take this into account, because we currently have a major outbreak of H3N2 influenza in the country' s jungle, such as (the regions of) Loreto, San Martin, Amazonas and Ucayali," the researcher warned.
Peru announced its third wave of Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, accelerated by the arrival in December of the Omicron variant,which has already led to 309 confirmed cases in this South American nation.

Omicron may be less severe, but not ' mild' - WHO chief
The more infectious Omicron variant appears to produce less severe disease than the globally dominant Delta, but should not be categorised as &ldquo mild&rdquo , the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday.
Speaking at a media briefing, the director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, also repeated his call for greater equity globally in the distribution of and access to vaccines.
Based on the current rate of vaccine rollout, 109 countries will miss the WHO&rsquo s target for 70% of the world&rsquo s population to be fully vaccinated by July, Tedros added. That aim is seen as helping end the acute phase of the pandemic.
Another variant &ndash labelled as IHU and first registered in September 2021 &ndash is among those being monitored by the WHO but is not circulating widely, said the WHO&rsquo s technical lead on Covid-19, Dr Maria van Kerkhove.
There are two other categories of greater significance the WHO uses to track variants: &ldquo variant of concern&rdquo , which includes Delta and Omicron, and &ldquo variant of interest&rdquo .
Speaking at the same briefing from Geneva, the WHO adviser Bruce Aylward said 36 nations had not even reached 10% vaccination cover. Among severe patients worldwide, 80% were unvaccinated, he added.
