Abstract
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has been promptly spreading to different countries becoming a global pandemic, to the reports of the World Health Organization (WHO). Sufficient immune responses over whelming the virus in the first or second phase without immune over-reaction can be seen in patients with competent immune functions and no obvious risk factors like old age, co-morbidities, etc. There is high sensitivity and specificity of saliva specimens in detecting respiratory viruses by an automated multiplex molecular assay while comparing with those of nasopharyngeal aspirate. The beneficial role of saliva as a quick and non-invasive diagnostic bio sample has been established.
Keywords: COVID-19, Saliva, Bio Sample, Diagnosis.
