Coronavirus Disease 2019-Related Oral Reactive Infectious Mucocutaneous Eruption.

ABSTRACT

The coronavirus responsible for the current global pandemic, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is well-known for its respiratory symptoms. The scientific community and frontline health care providers have been documenting a number of systemic manifestations, including clinical findings in the oral cavity. Among these findings, oral ulcerative lesions are becoming more prevalent in COVID-19 infection, with differing severities and presentations. Health care professionals should, therefore, be aware of the possible implications that COVID-19 has on the oral cavity to judiciously document, monitor and refer patients with ulcerative lesions to the appropriate medical and dental specialists for management when necessary.
