Saliva sample as a non-invasive specimen for the diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019: a cross-sectional study

E. Pasomsub et al.

Summary: Saliva may serve as an alternative specimen for the diagnosis of COVID-19, with high sensitivity and specificity compared to nasopharyngeal and throat swab RT-PCR.

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.

Victoria Gniazdowski et al.

Summary: This study found that low Ct values in SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests were associated with virus growth in cell culture, and symptomatic patients with prolonged viral RNA shedding can also be infectious.
