在91.7%（11/12）的患者自采唾液中检出2019新型冠状病毒（2019-nCoV）。连续唾液病毒载量监测总体呈下降趋势。通过病毒培养在唾液中检测到活病毒。唾液是一种很有前途的非侵入性标本，可用于2019-nCoV感染患者的诊断、监测和感染控制。
The 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was detected in the self-collected saliva of 91.7% (11/12) of patients. Serial saliva viral load monitoring generally showed a declining trend. Live virus was detected in saliva by viral culture. Saliva is a promising noninvasive specimen for diagnosis, monitoring, and infection control in patients with 2019-nCoV infection.
