Sensitivity of Nasopharyngeal Swabs and Saliva for the Detection of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2

Alainna J. Jamal et al.

Summary: A study of 91 inpatients with COVID-19 in Toronto, Canada, found that nasopharyngeal swabs had a sensitivity of 89% compared to saliva's 72% sensitivity when tested with real-time RT-PCR. The difference in sensitivity was more pronounced for sample pairs collected later in the course of the illness.

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.

Evaluation of Specimen Types and Saliva Stabilization Solutions for SARS-CoV-2 Testing

Sara B. Griesemer et al.

Summary: Identifying SARS-CoV-2 infections through aggressive diagnostic testing is crucial in tracking and controlling the spread of COVID-19. Alternative specimen types like nasal swabs and saliva have been investigated for detection sensitivity, with combining the two sample types resulting in improved sensitivity. Additionally, stabilizing solutions did not enhance virus stability in saliva.

Saliva is a reliable and accessible source for the detection of SARS-CoV-2

Luis A. Herrera et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that saliva sampling is comparable to nasopharyngeal swab sampling in terms of sensitivity and reproducibility for detecting SARS-CoV-2, with saliva showing higher concordance and viral concentration. Additionally, saliva samples are stable without preservatives and can still detect positive results after an extended period of time. Benefits include cost reduction and increased sample analysis efficiency through pooling.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 by real-time PCR under challenging pre-analytical conditions reveals independence of swab media and cooling chain

Sabrina Summer et al.

Summary: Our study found that alternatives to commercial transport medium (UTM), such as HBSS VTM or saline, enable adequate detection of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses even under storage temperatures up to 28 degrees Celsius and storage times up to 28 days. This suggests high resilience of these viruses, allowing for proper detection in clinical specimens regardless of the transport medium's composition and storage conditions.
