TL;DR: The role of saliva in COVID-19 diagnosis could not be limited to a qualitative detection of the virus, but it may also provide information about the clinical evolution of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The mRNA BNT162b2 vaccination elicits a strong systemic immune response by drastically boosting neutralizing antibodies development in serum, but not in saliva, indicating that at least oral mucosal immunity is poorly activated by this vaccination protocol, thus failing in limiting virus acquisition upon its entry through this route.

TL;DR: In this article, a conjunctival swab was performed in 91 patients hospitalized for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in tears collected from patients with COVID-19 by means of real-time reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) assay and to assess the association of virus presence with concomitant clinical conditions.
