Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians (SLCP) yesterday said that a vaccine would be the most effective long-term strategy in the battle against COVID-19 in Sri Lanka and urged the health authorities and the government to take all possible measures, promptly and decisively, to accelerate the process of obtaining COVID-19 vaccines
Professor Vasantha Devasiri, President SLCP in a statement said that COVID-19, the most significant pandemic during the lifetime of all of us is never over and it is in fact spinning even faster in many parts of the world, including Sri Lanka. The number of cases and deaths are on the rise. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel as vaccines against it have been rolled out in many countries of the world.
PCR tests on children - 0
PCR testing is not a pleasant experience. This is because PCR tests typically test the fluids in the nasopharyngeal area where the highest volumes of the virus are present. But could this invasive test damage the delicate nasal interiors in infants and children?
“PCR testing in children is not different to tests conducted on adults,” opined Dr. B J C Perera, Specialist Consultant Paediatrician and Founder President of the Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians. “But it may be a bit more difficult in children as they would react during the test. Another option is to test saliva, but the accepted test is the nasopharyngeal test.” said Dr. Perera.
