Mass Screening of Asymptomatic Persons for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Using Saliva

Isao Yokota et al.

Summary: This mass screening study showed that both NPS and saliva specimens had high sensitivity and specificity, with self-collected saliva specimens being valuable for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in mass screening of asymptomatic individuals. Viral load was highly correlated between NPS and saliva specimens in individuals testing positive.

Comparison of Saliva and Nasopharyngeal Swab Nucleic Acid Amplification Testing for Detection of SARS-CoV-2 A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Guillaume Butler-Laporte et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of saliva NAAT for COVID-19 and found that its accuracy is similar to that of nasopharyngeal swab NAAT, especially in ambulatory settings. This suggests the potential for saliva NAAT as an alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs and supports further research in this area.

Association of Viral Load in SARS-CoV-2 Patients With Age and Gender

Waleed H. Mahallawi et al.

Summary: This study found that there was no significant difference in viral loads between age groups among COVID-19 patients. It also revealed that females had a higher SARS-CoV-2 viral load compared to males. Further research is needed to explore the correlation between viral load and clinical symptoms and outcomes.

Saliva sample for the massive screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection: a systematic review

Martin Gonzalez Canete et al.

Summary: This systematic review indicates that saliva could be a suitable, fast, painless, simple, and noninvasive sample for detecting SARS-CoV-2, making it ideal for mass screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The sensitivity of saliva ranged from 20% to 97%, and the specificity ranged from 66% to 100%, showing its potential as a reliable alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs.

SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and MERS-CoV viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and infectiousness: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Muge Cevik et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the viral load dynamics, duration of viral shedding, and viable virus shedding of SARS-CoV-2 in various body fluids. The findings suggest that while SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding can be prolonged in respiratory and stool samples, the duration of viable virus shedding is relatively short-lived.
