From Delta to Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant: switch to saliva sampling for higher detection rate

2022-03-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing on a nasopharyngeal swab is the current standard for SARS-CoV-2 virus detection. Since collection of this sample type is experienced uncomfortable by patients, saliva- and oropharyngeal swab collections should be considered as alternative specimens. <h4>Objectives</h4> Evaluation of the relative performance of oropharyngeal swab, nasopharynge...
