摘要

背景:严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)感染通过吸入含有该病毒的气溶胶或飞沫或直接接触(主要是与感染者密切接触)传播。目的:本研究旨在评估无症状冠状病毒病2019 (COVID-19)患者唾液腺在感染sars - cov -2的唾液分泌中的作用,并确定唾液的传染性。方法:在2021年3月至2022年3月的横断面分析研究中,招募了85例无症状的COVID-19鼻咽/口咽拭子阳性个体。采用Real - Time-PCR检测同时使用鼻咽拭子(NPS)、唾液和纯唾液(直接从唾液管开口采集)的SARS-CoV-2周期阈值(Ct)。采用SPSS软件(version 23)进行统计分析,p值为<0.05为显著性。结果:δ型(29.82±4.66)、Omicron型(32.75±4.82)和α型(36.83±4.8)的唾液ct值最低(病毒载量最高)。δ感染唾液与纯唾液相关性最强(相关系数= 0.971,P <0.001)。唾液ct值显著低于Delta- (P <0.001)和Omicron- (P = 0.012)感染患者比α -感染患者多。Delta样品的纯唾液ct值(30.13±4.51)显著低于前者(P = 0.014)。无症状Alpha-和omicron -感染患者NPS ct值(30.52±4.02和29.44±3.34)明显低于唾液(36.83±4.8和32.75±4.82)。结论:几乎所有delta感染者和大多数omicron感染者的主要唾液腺分泌sars - cov -2感染的唾液。虽然传播过程复杂,但唾液滴和气溶胶似乎在感染Delta变体的个体中具有更高的传染潜力。

Assessment of Salivary Glands as Reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2 and the Contagiousness of Saliva in Asymptomatic COVID-19 Patients: Is Delta Variant More Contagious?
Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection transmits when aerosols or droplets containing the virus are inhaled or come directly into contact, mainly in close contact with an infected person. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the role of the salivary glands in the secretion of SARS-CoV-2-infected saliva and determine the contagiousness of saliva in asymptomatic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study between March 2021 and March 2022, 85 asymptomatic COVID-19 individuals with positive nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs were recruited. The SARS-CoV-2 cycle threshold (Ct) value was investigated in concomitant nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS), saliva, and pure saliva (collected directly from the salivary duct opening) using Real Time-PCR assay. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 23), and a p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The saliva Ct-value was the lowest (the highest viral load) for Delta (29.82 ± 4.66), Omicron (32.75 ± 4.82), and Alpha (36.83 ± 4.8) variants, respectively. Delta-infected saliva and pure saliva revealed the strongest correlation (correlation coefficient = 0.971, P < 0.001). Saliva Ct-value was significantly lower in Delta- (P < 0.001) and Omicron- (P = 0.012) infected patients than in Alpha-infected patients. The pure saliva Ct-value was significantly lower (P = 0.014) in Delta samples (30.13 ± 4.51). Asymptomatic Alpha- and Omicron-infected patients revealed significantly lower NPS Ct-value (30.52 ± 4.02 and 29.44 ± 3.34) than the saliva (36.83 ± 4.8 and 32.75 ± 4.82). Conclusions: The major salivary glands secrete SARS-CoV-2-infected saliva in nearly all Delta-infected and most Omicron-infected asymptomatic individuals. Although the transmission process is complex, saliva droplets and aerosols seem to have a higher contagiousness potential in individuals infected with the Delta variant.
