SARS-CoV-2 Infection of Salivary Glands Compromises Oral Antifungal InnateImmunity and Predisposes to Oral Candidiasis

Areej A. Alfaifi, Tristan W. Wang, Paola Pérez…·Mary Ann Jabra‐Rizk

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces histatin-5 in salivary glands, impairing antifungal immunity and increasing Candida albicans prevalence in COVID-19 patients.
