- Abstract
The article discusses the role of human saliva as a COVID-19 virus diagnostic tool in paediatric patients, and it mentions saliva analysis in the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the Brazilian city of Araraquara, São Paulo. Total RNA extraction is assessed, along with symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and fever in children. According to the article, saliva collection is a less invasive strategy for COVID-19 virus surveillance.
