The accuracy of self-collected samples for diagnosing monkeypox was evaluated in a study of 50 individuals. Results showed that self-sampling performed similarly to physician-collected samples, suggesting it as a reliable strategy for diagnosis.
We evaluated the accuracy of patient-collected skin lesions, oropharyngeal, and rectal swabs among 50 individuals enrolled in a study of monkeypox viral dynamics. We found that the performance of self-collected samples was similar to that of physician-collected samples, suggesting that self-sampling is a reliable strategy for diagnosing monkeypox.
