Specimen Type: Container: Other Storage: Room Temperature Special Instructions: Specimen Collection: Specimens may be taken separately from each side of the nose for nasal secretions. NOTE: If two different slides are collected, two separate test requests are needed for proper reporting. Secretion is most easily and readily collected by having the patient blow the nose on a waxed paper or cellophane handkerchief. This gives a specimen that represents only nasal secretion or a collection of both nasal and sinus secretions. Small crusts from the septum and vestibule of the nose should be avoided. If no secretion is available from blowing the nose, it may be necessary to remove it by swabbing it with a cotton applicator or postnasal secretions may be obtained through a suction cannula. Secretion may also be collected in a specimen bottle at the time of acute exacerbation. The specimen should then be smeared on a clean microscope slide. Method: Hansel stain and microscopic examination of smear of nasal secretions Stability Room Temp: Not Available Refrigerated: Not Available Frozen: Not Available
