Comparison of Saliva and Midturbinate Swabs for Detection of SARS-CoV-2

Jianyu Lai et al.

Summary: Saliva is a suitable alternative to nasal swabs for detecting SARS-CoV-2, with similar rates of viral detection and higher sensitivity early in the infection. This suggests that saliva may be a superior and cost-effective screening tool for COVID-19.

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.

Saliva is more sensitive than nasopharyngeal or nasal swabs for diagnosis of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 infection

Alvin Kuo Jing Teo et al.

Summary: The study found saliva to be a sensitive sample for COVID-19 diagnosis, with a higher positivity rate compared to nasopharyngeal and self-administered nasal swabs. Cycle threshold values were lower across all sample types during the early stage of infection.

The effect of heat-treatment on SARS-CoV-2 viability and detection

Jane Burton et al.

Summary: Heat treatment can effectively reduce the viability of SARS-CoV-2, but the outcome varies significantly depending on the temperature and duration. Local validation is crucial for assessing the efficacy of heat-inactivation in molecular testing.

Evaluation of extraction-free RT-qPCR methods for SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics

Alexander Domnich et al.

Summary: In this study, sensitivity of traditional extraction-based, heated extraction-free, and unheated extraction-free RT-qPCR methods for SARS-CoV-2 detection were compared. The unheated extraction-free method showed perfect agreement with the standard extraction-based RT-qPCR, while the heated technique had an 8.2% false negativity rate. Unheated extraction-free RT-qPCR is a valuable alternative to the traditional extraction-based methods and may reduce turnaround times by about two hours.

Self-collected oral, nasal and saliva samples yield sensitivity comparable to professionally collected oro-nasopharyngeal swabs in SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis among symptomatic outpatients

Maximilian Gertler et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the sensitivity of self-sampling techniques in COVID-19 patients and found that self-collected oral/nasal/saliva samples have higher sensitivity. However, sensitivity decreases with lower viral load and longer duration of illness.
