Oral Manifestations in Patients with SARS-COV-2 Infection: A Brief Review
COVID 19, a severe acute respiratory disease caused by the SARS-COV-2 RNA virus, has been studied simultaneously with the advancement of clinical cases, based on the evidence found. The symptoms related to the oral cavity are: dysgeusia / hypogeusia, hemodynamic disorders, orofacial skin lesions, xerostomia and possible changes in the oral mucosa. The most affected patients are those with comorbidities and the immunosuppressed. This literature review addresses the main oral lesions found in patients infected with SARS-COV-2, in some clinical case reports. Because there is an expressive viral load of SARS-COV-2 in the oral cavity of infected patients, the symptoms and types of identification are clinically associated with COVID19.
