Stressed health hospitals not sufficiency swab medical one for ?Corona? when reviewing a patient complains of symptoms of high temperature and low white blood cells and platelets, after that diagnosed cases of dengue fever and it turned out later that the patient is infected with Corona after he revealed the swab to medical patient properly disease.

And saw doctors specialists that it is possible to show the results of the swab first negative to an individual who complains of very high heat because the patient is in the incubation period and therefore it needs to be re-swab after days or may be swab was taken the wrong way from the nose, and the suspicion Baldhank Ward because symptoms of high temperature and low white blood cells and platelets are similar between the two diseases, hence the diagnoses of dengue separately swabs Corona separately is necessary to reach the diagnostic accuracy.

The Assistant Director of Health Jeddah Dr. Turki Al-Sharif had been circulating all hospitals need to deal with any patient complaining of symptoms similar to Corona such as rising sharply in the heat and low white blood cells and platelets great specificity and took all the tests and swabs necessary to isolate the patient if his condition very well developed in accordance with the diagnosis and non- sufficiency swab if one appeared first negative because the virus may be in the incubation period, indicating that the analyzes conducted dengue blood sample result is shown accurately.

He pointed out that dengue is endemic, the procedure diagnosed beside disease Corona helps to identify and treat the disease, especially that look the same in one side of a high temperature and low white blood cells and platelets, while the situation is different in Corona, where in addition to symptoms of cough, diarrhea and pneumonia in cases of advanced and thus Not satisfied with the swab and one for Corona is necessary, especially if the results of dengue negative.

Dr Sharif concluded that Corona's disease began to diminish gradually in Jeddah, is expected to stabilize the situation even more in the coming days.

In a related context, according to a consultant and director of the Saudi Society for Infectious Diseases and Microbiology at the Western Region Dr. Nizar Bahabri, that the similarity between dengue and Corona is the high heat and low white blood cells and platelets, and therefore draws doctors to conduct Akoshvin determines the accuracy of the diagnosis, which is normal because Analysis of dengue is through the blood while Corona Vmshh nose also must be taken properly because if I took the wrong way, the result may appear negative, so the doctor is obliged to take the swab again to determine the diagnosis and not just swab and one if they are negative and the results of dengue negative.

Dr Bahabri confirmed that the incubation period of the virus may give a negative swab results, so repeat swab Altchkbes determines the accuracy and course of treatment.

In a related context, according to director of laboratories and blood banks in Jeddah Dr. Saeed Al Amoudi it to ensure you get the sensitivity of the assay samples and output results are correct, the most important requirements in this aspect is to be taken swab in a proper way and send it in the fastest time in the portfolio contains templates snow which helps Remember the sample correctly and the safety of the outcome.

He pointed out that in case of any violation of the sample rejects and example templates sent without snow, or there is no break in the pipe, or not matching the name of the patient.

He stressed that the appearance of the negative results in the first Wipes is out of the question because it may be the sample was taken and the patient is preheated and especially that the virus did not occur to him, despite the proliferation of its existence, so it must be sampled again to avoid conflicting results.
