Measles PCR testing is performed on throat or mouth viral swabs. PCR can also be performed on a nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA).
A nasopharyngeal in viral transport medium is suitable for PCR testing alone and is useful in community settings.
The overall unadjusted PCR rates for the before, after and no access to EyeSi groups were 3.5%, 2.6% and 3.8% respectively.

To demonstrate ongoing infection, PCR testing is required.
