Sažetak
Previous data from the literature describe heterogeneous signs and symptoms on the oral mucosa: dysgeusia or ageusia, desquamative gingivitis, erythema exudativum multiforme (EEM), salivary gland infections, xerostomia, necrotizing periodontal disease (NPD), nonspecific erythematous lesions, reccurent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, vesiculobullous lesions. We are of the opinion that the acute loss of taste in our patient is caused by the new coronavirus. Lesions of recurrent HSV of the hard palate mucosa are not caused, but triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Further studies are needed to determine whether the new coronavirus is the cause or predisposing factor for the development of oral symptoms and lesions.
