Diagnostic Yield of Saliva for SARS-CoV-2 Molecular Testing in Children.
Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society(2021)
Abstract
Pediatric saliva specimen demonstrated high sensitivity (93%) and specificity (96.2%) compared to paired nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) by Aptima SARS-CoV-2 Assay (Aptima). Viral loads were comparable in both specimen types. Saliva is a safe, noninvasive, and acceptable alternative specimen for SARS-CoV-2 detection in children.
