SARS‐CoV2 antigen in whole mouth fluid may be a reliable rapid detection tool

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: SARS-CoV2, transmitted through respiratory secretions within close contacts, primarily infects epithelial/endothelial cells lining the respiratory mucosae. Nasopharyngeal swab (NPS), the favoured sample for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) retrieves SARS-CoV2-infected cells with minimal aerosol formation (Wang et al. 2020; CDC guidelines, 2020).
