The fast spread of COVID-19 is related to the highly infectious nature of SARS-CoV-2. The disease is suggested to be transmitted through saliva droplets and nasal discharge. The saliva quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in real-time PCR from asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 adults has not been fully documented.

Methods: We performed a cross sectional study involving all hospital workers in 11 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes hospitals in December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Prolonged unexplained fevers in young adults are rare, particularly with easy access to diagnostic tests, but low-grade fevers typically receive less research attention.
- A case of a 37-year-old nurse experiencing a three-month intermittent low-grade fever with no clear diagnostic findings exemplifies "habitual hyperthermia" (HH), a condition first identified by virologist Prof. H.A. Reimann.
- The article emphasizes the need for careful selection of diagnostic tests in family practice for young adults with prolonged fevers and suggests revising surveillance strategies when HH is suspected.
Objectives: To determine if commercially available mouthwash with β-cyclodextrin and citrox (bioflavonoids) (CDCM) could decrease the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) salivary viral load.
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) PCR-positive patients aged 18-85 years with asymptomatic to mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms for <8 days were recruited. A total of 176 eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to CDCM or placebo.
Introduction: Few cases of arterial thromboembolisms have been reported after novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in case of severe infection or in elderly patients. We report a case of femoral arterial thrombosis in a young patient after nonsevere infection.
Case Description: A common femoral artery thrombosis extended in the first third of superficial and profunda femoral arteries associated with tibial posterior and popliteal artery thrombosis was diagnosed in a 24-year-old man complaining of right lower limb pain for one month.
