Positive concordant results in NPS and saliva were observed in seven individuals (two hepatitis cases and 5 without liver disease) until 7 days after onset of symptoms (100% of sensitivity). This is the first report of SARS CoV-2 detection in saliva samples among liver disease patients showing best results until 7 days of beginning of symptoms. In addition, there is no information regarding the usefulness of saliva for detecting SARS CoV-2 RNA in individuals presenting comorbidities, such as liver disease. Since saliva can be collected easily, SARS CoV-2 RNA detection in saliva can be useful strategy to increase the access of sample collection for the diagnosis of COVID-19 in patients with liver disease.	./cache/cord-354612-7f91l0n9.txt	./txt/cord-354612-7f91l0n9.txt
