A saliva test can more accurately indicate the severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children than the standard blood test. If saliva contains too few broadly protective antibodies, a child is more likely to suffer from pneumonia episodes. Saliva testing provides valuable information for treatment and is more comfortable for children.
A saliva test can more accurately indicate the severity of recurrent respiratory infections in children than the standard blood test. If saliva contains too few broadly protective antibodies, a child is more likely to suffer from pneumonia episodes. This is reported by researchers from Radboudumc Amalia Children's Hospital and UMC Utrecht Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in the European Respiratory Journal.
The broadly protective antibodies are present in everyone's airways; researchers also found them in siblings and parents of the affected children and in healthy caregivers. A high level of these antibodies in saliva is beneficial against respiratory infections. Theybind so broadly that researchers found antibodies in pre-pandemic children's saliva that could bind to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Saliva testing also offers prospects for new treatments and therapies. The researchers found that the flu vaccine increases the amount of broadly protective antibodies in the saliva of healthy caregivers. Additionally, the researchers are looking into the long-term possibility of harnessing these antibodies for future treatment of respiratory infections.Mischa H.
