Detection technologies and recent developments in the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection

Praveen Rai et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 that has spread globally, requiring collaborative efforts for accurate diagnosis and prevention. While RT-qPCR detection is considered the gold standard for early virus detection, challenges such as technical complexity and limited applicability have led to the development of portable POC tests.

Performance of Saliva Specimens for the Molecular Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the Community Setting: Does Sample Collection Method Matter?

Marta Fernandez-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: Data on saliva specimens for diagnosing COVID-19 in ambulatory patients are limited and varied. This study found that supervised saliva collection performed comparably to nasopharyngeal swabs, showing that saliva is an acceptable specimen for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in the community setting.

Test sensitivity is secondary to frequency and turnaround time for COVID-19 screening

Daniel B. Larremore et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a public health crisis due to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 through presymptomatic, symptomatic, and asymptomatic individuals. Effective population screening for the virus is essential for reopening societies and controlling its spread, with testing frequency and reporting speed playing crucial roles in its success. Test sensitivity is only marginally important compared to these factors.

Self-Collected Saline Gargle Samples as an Alternative to Health Care Worker-Collected Nasopharyngeal Swabs for COVID-19 Diagnosis in Outpatients

David M. Goldfarb et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the performance, stability, and user acceptability of different self-collected sample types for detecting SARS-CoV-2. Saline mouth rinse/gargle samples showed excellent sensitivity and stability, as well as the highest acceptability scores, making them a promising option for outpatient self-collection in adults and school-aged children.

Performance of Saliva, Oropharyngeal Swabs, and Nasal Swabs for SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Detection: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Rose A. Lee et al.

Summary: Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs are considered the best sample for diagnosing SARS-CoV-2, but saliva, oropharyngeal (OP), nasal (NS) swabs, and combinations of OP/NS are promising alternatives. While some alternative samples had lower detection rates, a combination of OP/NS showed comparable performance to NP swabs. The absence of RNA extraction (saliva) and use of a more sensitive nucleic acid amplification test (NS) significantly reduced the positive yield of alternative samples.

Performance characteristics of the Abbott Alinity m SARS-CoV-2 assay

Garrett A. Perchetti et al.

Summary: Mass molecular diagnostic testing for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has utilized various testing methods, with the Alinity m instrument by Abbott showing high concordance with reference assays. The Alinity m system has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity for SARS-CoV-2 molecular detection, making it a reliable option for widespread testing.

Estimating infectiousness throughout SARS-CoV-2 infection course

Terry C. Jones et al.

Summary: In a study of SARS-CoV-2 cases in Germany, it was found that younger subjects had lower viral loads but higher cell culture replication probabilities compared to older subjects. Additionally, 8% of subjects had viral loads above 10(9) copies per swab, with a third of them being presymptomatic, asymptomatic, or mildly symptomatic individuals with a mean age of 37.6 years. The B.1.1.7 lineage infections had a higher viral load and cell culture replication probability than non-B.1.1.7 subjects.
