Nasopharyngeal and throat swabs are usually obtained for serial viral load monitoring of respiratory infections but gathering these specimens can cause discomfort for patients and put health-care workers at risk. We aimed to ascertain the serial respiratory viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in posterior oropharyngeal (deep throat) saliva samples from patients with COVID-19, and serum antibody responses. We present findings of an observational cohort study of the temporal profile of viral load of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from posterior oropharyngeal saliva samples and serum antibody responses, dated by symptom onset and correlated with clinical findings. ./cache/cord-254478-scc9wee0.txt ./txt/cord-254478-scc9wee0.txt
