Improperly collected specimens may lead to false negatives or inconclusive results. Below are a guidelines for monkeypox specimen collection.

2. Unscrew the top of the collection tube. Hold the swab in 1 hand and the collection tube in the other.
3. Swab a pustule/lesion vigorously without unroofing or lancing the lesion.
4. Insert the swab into the viral transport medium without touching the outside of the collection tube, and break off the end of the swab, if required.
5. Screw the top of the collection tube back on tightly. Leaking specimens will be rejected.

• Use a sterile nylon, polyester, or Dacron swab with a plastic or thin aluminum shaft. Do not use other types of swabs. Do not use swabs contained within a media transport system (e.g. ESwab)
