Abstract

The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was detected in the self-collected saliva of 91.7% (11/12) of patients. Serial saliva viral load monitoring generally showed a declining trend. Live virus was detected in saliva by viral culture. Saliva is a promising noninvasive specimen for diagnosis, monitoring, and infection control in patients with 2019-nCoV infection.

Traces of COVID-19 were detected in the saliva of 11 of 12 patients infected with the virus, suggesting that saliva may be a “promising, noninvasive specimen” for the diagnosis, monitoring and infection control of the virus, according to a study published in Clinical Infectious Diseases.
