Another strange COVID-19 symptom
Spanish researchers think they've found another symptom of COVID-19 not previously considered.
Mouth lesions were found in 21 COVID-19 patient’s mouths with COVID-19 examined at Ramon y Cajal University Hospital in Madrid. Helath experts now believe the lesion could be another side-effect of having coronavirus.
The findings - published in JAMA Dermatology - found six of the patients with a skin rash had some form of enanthem in their mouths.
"This work describes preliminary observations and is limited by the small number of cases and the absence of a control group," researchers wrote.
"Despite the increasing reports of skin rashes in patients with COVID-19, establishing an etiological diagnosis is challenging.
“However, the presence of enanthem is a strong clue that suggests a viral etiology rather than a drug reaction, especially when a petechial pattern is observed.”
Researchers say many patients suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 have not had their mouths examined, due to obvious risks involved.
The lesions join a growing list of strange COVID-19 symptoms detected by health experts. Other strange symptoms include clumsiness disturbance in mental functioning, rashes on feet and toes, body rashes, loss of taste and smell and migraines.
