The most recent symptom of the coronavirus may be swelling in the mouth and tongue. The experts conducted a study in Spain and found that a significant percentage of patients infected by COVID-19 also develop atypical manifestations of the disease.
Researchers from Spain examined patients in a Madrid field hospital. The subject of the study was 666 coronavirus patients who had mild and moderate pneumonia.
The average age of the patients was 56 years, and 58% of them were women, The Sun reports.
Of the study subjects, 46% of the patients had some form of skin manifestation, the hands and feet being the most affected.
The researchers also found that 26 percent of the patients had a mouth rash and small red or white swellings on the tongue.
However, experts added that the eruptions were “Relatively neobișnuite”, so only 11% of the participants were affected in this way.
Previously, experts from King’s College London stated that the eruptions should be considered the fourth official symptom of the coronavirus.
Scientists at Imperial College London run the app Covid Symptom Tracker and noticed an increase in the number of users who reported the unusual reaction. 9% of those who tested positive for coronavirus also had a rash on the body or a rash on the toes or feet.
The researchers said the rashes were twice as common in children as in adults.
Based on the data, rashes can occur before, during, or after the presence of other Covid symptoms and sometimes after many weeks.
Common symptoms are persistent cough, loss of taste and smell, and high temperature.
Now, researchers say they have identified eight different types of eruptions that could be a potential sign of Covid-19.
