Clinical status determines the efficacy of salivary and nasopharyngeal samples for detection of SARS-CoV-2	2020-10-12		.txt	text/plain	824	67	58	To draw a meaningful conclusion in this regard, the most important study design would be a comparative cross-sectional analysis of salivary and nasopharyngeal samples (NPSs) in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA with a cycle threshold value. (Table 1 ) All the studies projected saliva as potential sampling material for the detection and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using RT-PCR. In asymptomatic cases, the sensitivity and detection rate was more in salivary samples as compared to NPS [2, 7] . On the contrary, in asymptomatic cases, NPS could not be a representative sample (probably due to absent or limited viral localization) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Looking at this discriminative trend, prescription of saliva samples for asymptomatic cases and NPS for symptomatic cases would be a valuable recommendation subject to validation in future randomized prospective studies. A direct comparison of enhanced saliva to nasopharyngeal swab for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in symptomatic patients	./cache/cord-262149-qrjprsv5.txt	./txt/cord-262149-qrjprsv5.txt
