COVID-19 enfeksiyonu sonrasında gelişen siyah kıllı dil

2019 yılında COVID-19 pandemisi başladığından beri, en çok etkilenen bölge dil olmak üzere birçok hastada oral mukoza tutulumu gözlenmektedir. Yakın dönem literatürde, enantem, Kawasaki benzeri hastalık, oral ülserler ve atrofik glossit gibi çok çeşitli lezyonlar bildirilmiştir. Bu makale, iki haftalık COVID-19 enfeksiyonundan sonra başvuran 47 yaşındaki bir kadındaki siyah kıllı dil olgusunu ele almaktadır. Hasta topikal retinoid tedavisine yanıt vermiştir.

Post-COVID-19 presentation of black hairy tongue

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2019, the involvement of the oral mucosa is observed in many patients, the tongue being the most affected area. In the recent literature, there is a wide range of lesions reported such as enanthema, Kawasaki-like disease, oral ulcers, and atrophic glossitis. This paper addresses a black hairy tongue case in a 47-year-old woman presenting after two weeks of COVID-19 infection. The patient was responsive to topical retinoid therapy.
