Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a form of β-Coronavirus of the Coronaviridae family, has been causing infection among humans worldwide leading to a pandemic emergency. New strains of SARS-CoV-2 have been evolving unceasingly, presenting with various systemic and oral manifestations. There has been an increase in the incidence of secondary infection in the coronavirus infected individual either due to pre-existing factors or the virus by itself is causing such infection, which is still unclear. As it is already known, immunocompromised and uncontrolled diabetic patients have an increased chance of developing mucormycosis. Herein, we report a case who presented with a swelling in the left cheek, eye, and avascular necrosis intraorally, post COVID-19 infection.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)是冠状病毒科β冠状病毒的一种形式,一直在全球范围内导致人类感染,引发大流行紧急情况。SARS-CoV-2的新毒株不断演变,表现出各种全身和口腔表现。冠状病毒感染个体继发感染的发生率有所增加,原因是既有因素还是病毒本身导致这种感染,目前尚不清楚。众所周知,免疫功能低下和糖尿病控制不佳的患者发生毛霉菌病的几率增加。在此,我们报告一例COVID-19感染后出现左脸颊、眼睛肿胀以及口腔内无血管坏死的病例。
