Saliva as a potential clinical specimen for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2	2020-09-11		.txt	text/plain	2348	176	63	Findings This study shows a lower CT mean value for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 ORF1 gene (27.07; 95% CI, 25.62 to 28.52) in saliva methods than that of NPS (28.24; 95% CI, 26.62 to 29.85) sampling method. Total RNA was isolated from the SARS-CoV-2-infected saliva samples using QIAamp Viral preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.11.20192591 doi: medRxiv preprint A total number of 53 subjects were tested positive both in NPS and saliva assay, whereas 5 samples were found only as NPS positive (Table 1) Statistically, we detected lower C T value for ORF1 gene in the saliva specimens (mean C T = 27.07; 95% confidence interval [CI], 25.62 to 28.52) than in the NPS specimens (mean C T = 28.24; 95% CI, 26.62 to 29.85) (Figure 2A) .	./cache/cord-345106-5szz1et3.txt	./txt/cord-345106-5szz1et3.txt
