Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for rapidly, easily, and accurately analyzing analytes in a nasal mucosa sample by using a non-invasive and convenient method with a nasal dropper. Specifically, this invention relates to a method for detecting infections, using a cleaning solution containing nasal mucosa surface mucus as a sample. This nasal mucosa surface mucus is obtained by adding the cleaning solution to the nasal cavity of a subject suspected of having an infection to clean the nasal mucosa surface.
