ABSTRACT
Since the advent of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection, this highly infectious virus has spread worldwide infecting millions of people. Not only it has affected the pulmonary function of the body, leading to difficulty in breathing, but at the same time, an array of other systemic infections which may or may not be directly due to coronavirus infection, due to an absent established relationship. The mucocutaneous manifestations seen in COVID-19 infection include depapillation of the tongue, lesions seen on alveolar mucosa, gingiva, buccal mucosa, dysgeusia, and dry mouth. This case report highlights the effect of COVID-19 on the tongue also known as COVID tongue seen as depapillation of the tongue surface. Due to the absence of long-term studies and time-limited research, a direct relationship between COVID-19 and the systemic manifestation is not yet established. More research has to be done in this direction, to chart out the exact etiology of these systemic infections.
