ORAL LESIONS IN PATIENTS WITH COVID-19: REPORT OF TWO CLINICAL CASES

Case 1: A 45-year-old woman, diagnosed with COVID-19 by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), sought care via messaging app complaining of tongue discomfort. She sent a picture of the lesion in which a hemorrhagic blister of approximately 1 cm on the tongue's ventral face was observed. The patient denied trauma or the use of medication. Follow-up was carried out and complete resolution of the lesion was noted after 5 days. Case 2: A 6-year-old boy under treatment for acute lymphoid leukemia was hospitalized because of febrile neutropenia and respiratory complaints. In the clinical exam, multiple painful rounded erosions of approximately 2 mm in diameter were observed on the hard palate. As a result of the respiratory complaint, RT-PCR for COVID-19 was requested and the result was positive. The patient followed the treatment for COVID-19 and resolution of the lesions was noted after 7 days.
