Equivalence of saliva RT-qPCR testing to nasal-throat/nasopharyngeal swab testing in the general practitioner’s setting to detect SARS-CoV-2

2021-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Study design</h4> Saliva has been proposed as valid alternative for nasopharyngeal swab for RT-qPCR detection of SARS-CoV-2. The sensitivity is generally equivalent, and it comes with much less discomfort for the patient. While there is an overall good performance in the literature for adults, there is much less information on the use of saliva in children or in the general practitioner’s setting. <h4>Methods<...
