"The saliva collector method seems to be reliable with a good negative and positive predictive value.  In six cases, the saliva collector even appeared to detect the infection a few days earlier. At first we thought that the results were false positives. But with one exception, these patients returned a few days later for a second test.  Then they also tested positive with a nasal sample.
