Does Liuzijue Qigong affect anxiety in patients with chronic obstructive pulm...LucyPi1
Abstract Background: Anxiety is a common comorbidity associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but no well-recognized method can provide effective relief. Liuzijue Qigong (LQG) is a traditional Chinese fitness method, based on breath pronunciation. This study aimed to examine the efficacy of LQG to relieve anxiety in COPD patients and to explore the factors that influence anxiety, including whether LQG is effective during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Methods: We conducted an open-label, randomized, controlled, clinical trial. A total of 60 patients with stable COPD were randomly assigned to two groups. Both groups were given routine medical treatment, and the patients in the pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) group were given an extra intervention in the form of LQG, performed for 30 minutes each day for 12 weeks. Data collection was performed at baseline and 12 weeks (during the COVID-19 epidemic). The primary outcomes were the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores, and the secondary outcomes were relevant information during the epidemic and analyses of the related factors that influenced SAS scores during the COVID-19 outbreak. Results: Compared with baseline, patients in both groups demonstrated varying degrees of improvements in their SAS scores (all P < 0.01). An analysis of covariance, adjusted for baseline scores, indicated that the SAS scores improved more dramatically in the PR group than in the control group (F = 9.539, P = 0.004). During the outbreak, the SAS scores for sleep disorder were higher than all other factors, reaching 1.38 ± 0.67, and the scores for “I can breathe in and out easily” for the PR group were lower than the scores for the control group (Z = −2.108, P = 0.035). Significant differences were identified between the two groups for the categories “How much has the outbreak affected your life”, “Do you practice LQG during the epidemic” and “Do you practice other exercises during the epidemic” (all P < 0.05). Compared with current reports, LQG had a relatively high adherence rate (80.95%). A multiple linear regression analysis revealed multiple predictors for SAS scores during the outbreak: group (b = −3.907, t = −3.824, P < 0.001), COPD assessment test score (b = 0.309, t = 2.876, P = 0.006), SAS score at baseline (b = 0.189, t = 3.074, P = 0.004), and living in a village (b = 4.886, t = 2.085, P = 0.043). Conclusion: LQG could effectively reduce the risks of anxiety among COPD patients, even during the COVID-19 outbreak. For those COPD patients with high COPD assessment test and high baseline SAS scores or who live in villages, we should reinforce the management and intervention of psychological factors during the epidemic.

COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The document discusses a study that examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of journalists in Abuja, Nigeria regarding COVID-19. The study utilized the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) model to assess how journalists' knowledge impacted their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 protocols. The study found that journalists had generally good knowledge of COVID-19, which positively influenced their attitudes. However, their knowledge did not strongly correlate with adopting recommended practices. The study suggests journalists must follow public health protocols to effectively spread COVID-19 information to the public and encourage adherence to containment measures.
Covid 19 - the Corona Virus Medical WhitepaperPete Surreal
This document provides an overview of COVID-19 including its biology, transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Key points include:
- COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a coronavirus that binds the ACE2 receptor and causes ARDS through direct cell damage and possibly a cytokine storm response.
- Transmission occurs via respiratory droplets, contact with contaminated surfaces, and possibly aerosols. Virus can persist on surfaces for days.
- Symptoms are generally flu-like but can progress to viral pneumonia. Diagnosis involves PCR testing of respiratory samples. Treatment is supportive care.
- Prevention relies on hand hygiene, surface cleaning, and personal protective equipment like surgical
This article provides a review of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It discusses the epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and prevention/control of COVID-19. Key points include that COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild to severe/fatal, with the elderly and those with preexisting conditions most at risk of complications. Diagnosis is via PCR tests of respiratory samples. While there are no approved vaccines or treatments yet, prevention focuses on avoiding exposure, hand washing, and other hygiene/social distancing practices. The aim is to increase awareness and understanding of this ongoing public health threat.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face.
COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It causes symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath that appear 2-14 days after exposure. The virus spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from infected individuals coughing and sneezing, and possibly through touching contaminated surfaces. To prevent infection, one should wash hands frequently, avoid touching the face, disinfect surfaces, maintain distance from those coughing/sneezing, and cough/sneeze into the elbow. Droplets from coughs or sneezes can transfer from surfaces to hands and then to the face, causing infection if introduced to mucous membranes.

Corona virus global report covid 19 recently world is very dangerous position with this coronavirus named as covid 19 this is the WHO report on symptoms
The Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) is officially now a pandemic and not just a public health emergency of international concern as previously labelled. Worldwide, the new coronavirus has infected more than 4.9 million people and leaving more than 300,000 people dead in 188 countries. As countries of the world get locked down in an effort to contain the widespread of the virus, experts are concern about the global impacts of the pandemic on individuals, countries and the world at large. Millions of people are currently under quarantine across the globe. Many countries have responded by proclaiming a public health emergency, closed their borders and restrict incoming flights from high risk countries. This has grossly affected the travel plan of many. Several international programs, conferences, workshops and sporting activities are either postponed or cancelled. As the number of confirmed cases continues to escalate across the globe, hospitals seems to be running out of medical supplies, hospital spaces and personnel. Health workers are being overwhelmed by the numbers of people requesting for testing and treatment. Many of such health workers have been infected with the coronavirus and even lost their lives since the fight against COVID-19 started. Public health experts are also concerned about the huge medical wastes coming from the hospitals at this time and the adverse effects associated with improper management of such medical wastes, both at the hospital and community levels. The pandemic has also impacted negatively on the global economy. There have been serious crises in the stock market, with gross fall in the price of crude oil resulting in inflation and economic hardship among the populace. Many are currently out of job and as a result, the level of crime, protest and violence have continued to escalate in different parts of the world. The deaths of loved ones due to the coronavirus has left many emotionally traumatized. Nigeria, like other African countries is not spared of the ravaging effects of the pandemic, even as the government take strict measures to contain the virus. No doubt, this is very challenging, but the country is capable of surmounting the virus with the needed help from her international partners and cooperation from the citizenry. But if we as a people, remain complacent and continue with business as usual, without taking measures to flatten the curve, the disease will escalate too quickly beyond our capacity to handle and our health system will be overwhelmed and may collapse eventually. We cannot therefore afford to be complacent in our response to containing the pandemic.

Research on covid 19 effects on youthsWaqar Abbasi
This document summarizes the effects of COVID-19 on the mental health and psyche of youth based on interviews. It finds that youth are struggling with overthinking, feelings of loss, sadness, anxiety about the health of family and friends, and disrupted sleep. They are missing important life events like graduation and weekly family dinners. The lockdown has also disrupted daily routines and caused financial stress for many. Overall, the pandemic is taking a significant toll on the psychological well-being of young people.
COVID-19: Knowledge Base, Attitudes and Practices among Practising Journalist...Premier Publishers
The document discusses a study that examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of journalists in Abuja, Nigeria regarding COVID-19. The study utilized the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) model to assess how journalists' knowledge impacted their attitudes and behaviors related to COVID-19 protocols. The study found that journalists had generally good knowledge of COVID-19, which positively influenced their attitudes. However, their knowledge did not strongly correlate with adopting recommended practices. The study suggests journalists must follow public health protocols to effectively spread COVID-19 information to the public and encourage adherence to containment measures.
Covid 19 - the Corona Virus Medical WhitepaperPete Surreal
This document provides an overview of COVID-19 including its biology, transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Key points include:
- COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2, a coronavirus that binds the ACE2 receptor and causes ARDS through direct cell damage and possibly a cytokine storm response.
- Transmission occurs via respiratory droplets, contact with contaminated surfaces, and possibly aerosols. Virus can persist on surfaces for days.
- Symptoms are generally flu-like but can progress to viral pneumonia. Diagnosis involves PCR testing of respiratory samples. Treatment is supportive care.
- Prevention relies on hand hygiene, surface cleaning, and personal protective equipment like surgical
This article provides a review of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), the respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. It discusses the epidemiology, causes, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and prevention/control of COVID-19. Key points include that COVID-19 symptoms can range from mild to severe/fatal, with the elderly and those with preexisting conditions most at risk of complications. Diagnosis is via PCR tests of respiratory samples. While there are no approved vaccines or treatments yet, prevention focuses on avoiding exposure, hand washing, and other hygiene/social distancing practices. The aim is to increase awareness and understanding of this ongoing public health threat.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes, and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based rub frequently and not touching your face.
COVID-19 is a respiratory infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It causes symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath that appear 2-14 days after exposure. The virus spreads mainly through respiratory droplets from infected individuals coughing and sneezing, and possibly through touching contaminated surfaces. To prevent infection, one should wash hands frequently, avoid touching the face, disinfect surfaces, maintain distance from those coughing/sneezing, and cough/sneeze into the elbow. Droplets from coughs or sneezes can transfer from surfaces to hands and then to the face, causing infection if introduced to mucous membranes.
A Perspective Approach of Community Medicine in Corona Virus Disease COVID 19ijtsrd
Coronavirus disease COVID 19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS CoV 2 coronavirus, which has spread rapidly across the world. The World Health Organization WHO proclaimed the COVID 19 outbreak a pandemic in March 2020. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on global health systems, as well as economic and social development. The rate of transmission is relatively high.As a result, regardless of vaccine history or previous infection, the CDC recommends that anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID 19 be checked. Everyday Preventive Actions, as well as having the Covid 19 Vaccine when it is safe, will protect you and your loved ones.

Corona viruses are a group of RNA viruses. In late December 2019, Patients with pneumonia with unknown etiology was get admitted in health care facilities in Wuhan, China, and resulted in a pandemic disease which affected more than 200 countries and responsible for 182,989 deaths world wide. The disease is officially named as Coronavirus Disease 2019 COVID 19, by WHO on February 11, 2020 . COVID 19 is a potential zoonotic disease with low to moderate estimated 2 -5 mortality rate. Currently, there is no definite treatment for COVID 19 although some trials are under investigation. Hence, appropriate use of PPE, regular hand hygiene, Respiratory and cough etiquettes, social distancing are some key elements to prevent the spread of disease.

Corona virus global report covid 19 recently world is very dangerous position with this coronavirus named as covid 19 this is the WHO report on symptoms
The Coronavirus Disease – 2019 (COVID-19) is officially now a pandemic and not just a public health emergency of international concern as previously labelled. Worldwide, the new coronavirus has infected more than 4.9 million people and leaving more than 300,000 people dead in 188 countries. As countries of the world get locked down in an effort to contain the widespread of the virus, experts are concern about the global impacts of the pandemic on individuals, countries and the world at large. Millions of people are currently under quarantine across the globe. Many countries have responded by proclaiming a public health emergency, closed their borders and restrict incoming flights from high risk countries. This has grossly affected the travel plan of many. Several international programs, conferences, workshops and sporting activities are either postponed or cancelled. As the number of confirmed cases continues to escalate across the globe, hospitals seems to be running out of medical supplies, hospital spaces and personnel. Health workers are being overwhelmed by the numbers of people requesting for testing and treatment. Many of such health workers have been infected with the coronavirus and even lost their lives since the fight against COVID-19 started. Public health experts are also concerned about the huge medical wastes coming from the hospitals at this time and the adverse effects associated with improper management of such medical wastes, both at the hospital and community levels. The pandemic has also impacted negatively on the global economy. There have been serious crises in the stock market, with gross fall in the price of crude oil resulting in inflation and economic hardship among the populace. Many are currently out of job and as a result, the level of crime, protest and violence have continued to escalate in different parts of the world. The deaths of loved ones due to the coronavirus has left many emotionally traumatized. Nigeria, like other African countries is not spared of the ravaging effects of the pandemic, even as the government take strict measures to contain the virus. No doubt, this is very challenging, but the country is capable of surmounting the virus with the needed help from her international partners and cooperation from the citizenry. But if we as a people, remain complacent and continue with business as usual, without taking measures to flatten the curve, the disease will escalate too quickly beyond our capacity to handle and our health system will be overwhelmed and may collapse eventually. We cannot therefore afford to be complacent in our response to containing the pandemic.

Infection Control of COVID-19 - WHO Guideline.pdfmilahelan999
This review article discusses changes to infection control procedures in dentistry during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted through saliva and aerosols generated during dental procedures, putting dental staff and patients at high risk. Key changes include taking patient medical histories remotely before appointments to screen for COVID-19 symptoms or exposure, minimizing non-emergency visits during peak pandemic periods, and modifying standard infection control protocols like increased use of PPE and ventilation to reduce virus transmission. Strict adherence to modified infection control measures is necessary to protect dental practitioners, staff, patients and the community from COVID-19 exposure during treatment.

In late 2019, a novel coronavirus uncertain etiology caused in Wuhan, China, and quickly spread to other
provinces and countries. Some researchers isolated the pathogen named as the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (2019-
nCoV). The common symptoms of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, such as sore throat, high fever, diarrhea, and
dyspnea. Besides that, researchers also recorded oral symptoms including ulcers, herpes, and tongue pain. At the
same time, dental practitioners as a high-risk infection occupation always contact close patients. It is very important
to prevent infection. The review aims to look back at the progress of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
associated with stomatology, to be studied, diagnosed, and prevented from the disease from the oral aspect.
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is an aggressive fungal infection seen in some COVID-19 patients in India. It is caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes that have been opportunistically infecting COVID-19 patients with underlying conditions like diabetes. Common symptoms include sinusitis and black lesions on the nose or face. Diagnosis involves biopsy and microscopic examination showing broad, non-septate fungal hyphae. Treatment requires controlling underlying conditions, antifungal medication like amphotericin B, and sometimes surgery. Despite treatment, mortality remains high, especially for infections affecting the brain or lungs. Prevention involves controlling diabetes and limiting steroid use for COVID-19

This document summarizes a study that examined the oral microbial pathogens isolated in newly diagnosed HIV positive patients in Dakar, Senegal. 57 newly diagnosed HIV patients were included in the study. Their CD4 counts, viral loads, and oral examinations were performed. Samples found the most common microbial pathogens were Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and Proteus. An inverse correlation was found between CD4 count and viral load. The frequency of oral lesions and microbial isolates increased with higher viral loads. 70% of patients had CD4 counts below 500. The study concludes maintaining a low oral microbial load is important for preventing opportunistic infections in HIV patients.
A study was conducted among 1256 dental professionals to assess their knowledge and attitudes regarding conservative and endodontic practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that while the participants had good basic knowledge of COVID-19, areas for improvement were identified. For example, only 43% knew the accurate incubation period. Rubber dams were recognized as useful by 83% but techniques like low-speed handpieces were preferred by only 25%. While PPE kits were seen as important by 72%, only surgical masks were deemed sufficient by 37%. The study concluded that dental professionals need to be cautious when treating patients during the pandemic and limit disease spread.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Abstract: Since its appearance in December 2019, the new Corona virus made the world living an unexpected hard
period, putting health authorities affront a big challenge especially in countries with fragile health system. In
Algeria, the fragile health system and the unnecessary delay in announcing crucial measures have led to a huge
lack of PCR test imposing health worker to detect Corona virus cases with clinical and imaging features.
Dysgeusia, Dysosmia and aphthous are the most common oral signs of Covid19 infection’s . Oral manifestations
included also oral dryness, pulla, hemorrhagic crust, vesicule, , spontaneous bleeding, petechiae and white plaques.
The most common sites of Covid-19 virus oral manifestation's are tongue(40%) , labial mucosa ( 36%), palat,
gingiva and buccal mucosa. Reported in relationship with pulmonary and other extrapulmonary manifestations ,
the most common symptoms found are Dysgeusia ( 77% ) and dysosmia ( 64% ), oral lesions including aphthous(
34.4%), unilateral commissural fissures (30.5%), fissured tongue ( 19.5%) and erythema. At ( 88% ), oral lesions
were symptomatic, approximately equals in both genders (Male 50.7% , Female 49.3% ). Stressed patients,
patients with older age, immunosuppression and bad oral hygiene are more concerned by these manifestations.
Although that these oral lesions can be directly due to Coronavirus infection or secondary resulting from the
patient's immunity and systemic condition , it helped to create a new method of Covid19 detection's , especially
when the lack of PCR tests was flagrant in Algeria.
Keywords: Covid-19, Oral lesions, PCR test, Dysgeusia, Aphthous, Dysosmia, Detection, Prevention,

1. INTRODUCTION
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus ,this new virus
discovered in China in December 2019 spread brutally and rapidly, its particular worrying does not include only its high
contagiousness through direct contact , saliva and droplets generated (when an infected person coughs , speaks or after
sneezing) requiring special hard protection measures , or the absence of acquired immunity or even its ununderstood case-
fatality rate but also new symptoms that shows continuously such as skin and oral manifestations. [1]
Even though fever,
respiratory symptoms, fatigue, cough are initially considered major symptoms of Covid-19 infection, progressively ,
aspecific complaints of patients such as nasal congestion, loss of taste and smell , oral ulcerations have been the subject of
a real explosion [2]
, their role in Covid19 disease detection was highly recommended and well approved ; thus, taking
emergency measures and necessary recommendations when patients presented only those oral symptoms without waiting
for the availability of PCR tests helped enormously to avoid a sanitary disaster in Algeria.

The results of the previous statistics and the big panic created about the loss of taste and smell in the Algerian population
both in reality and on social media were a serious incentive to look for the prevalence of oral manifestations concomitant
with the Covid19 infection disease, and yet dental offices and oral health hospital services were strictly referred to
emergencies, loss of taste and mouth ulcers were the main reason for consultation during the confinement period.
In this systemic review based on a literature search completed from December 2019 until February 2021, associated with
our Algerian statistics , we prove the correlation between coronavirus disease and oral manifestations and their role in its
diagnosis in Algeria.
2. METHODS
Sources of information
we searched PubMed library and Sciencedirect for published literature using keywords ―COVID‐19‖ or ―coronavirus
disease 2019‖ and ―Oral manifestation‖ or ―Oral lesions‖ in the abstract or title since December 2019 until Mars 2021. [3]
Online data collection :
Due to confinement, our main method to collect data was using an online survey in which participated 500 patients who
got recovered from Corona virus disease.
The survey included 20 questions about patient’s age and gender, date of recovery from Covid19, existence or not of
smell and taste disorders, their recovery or not yet, presence or not of oral lesions , their type , size and involvement site ,
with symptoms or not, consultation or not the dentist and the type of treatment taken.
One-to-One interviews :
We conducted a cross-sectional study of100 recovered patients from Covid19 disease in Beni Messous Hospital (Algiers )
and Frantz Fanon Hospital (Blida city ).
All included patients were interrogated attentively then statistical results were carefully collected and analyzed.
3. RESULTS
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) disease is a viral infection with several symptoms and variable severity of complications.
Recent studies demonstrate dermatologic and oral alterations related to COVID-19 disease.[3]
The most common oral manifestations in people with COVID-19 that we get after searching are taste disorder( 77% ) and
smell disorder ( 64% ) , while oral lesions were aphthous in ( 34.4% ) of patients , unilateral commissural fissures ( 30.5%
) and fissured tongue ( 19.5% ) , these lesions were painful and symptomatic in ( 88% ) of cases and sites of involvement
were tongue ( 40% ) , labial mucosa ( 36% ), palat , gingiva and buccal mucosa.
Oral lesions and taste and smell disorders were approximately equal in both genders (Male 50.7% , Female 49.3%),
stress and poor oral hygiene increased significantly their appearance in positive tested patients.
Oral manifestations included also mouth dryness, spontaneous bleeding, petechiae , pulla , hemorrhagic crust and white
plaques but with less and instable appearance percentage. In ( 87% ), patients didn't consult and relied on traditional
medicine while only (13% ) of patients consulted by Telephone or in emergency services.
4. DISCUSSION
Most infected people with SARS-CoV-2 will develop mild to moderate symptoms, as fever, tiredness or dry cough, and it
can also cause severe illness and even death.[4]
However; since up to 80% of Covid-19 patients are asymptomatic and as
our research and previous researches show, nowadays smell and taste disturbances and oral ulcerations are no longer
considered as an atypical symptom of infection with Corona virus 2019 but rather a real weapon of diagnosis especially in
countries with a fragile health system, thus limiting the spread of the virus especially in patients with no altered general
conditions.
The aim of this research is to prove and confirm that oral manifestations that appear during an infection with Corona virus
2019 are not random symptoms but rather almost stable signs.

I-Olfactory and taste disturbances
Despite that saliva is an essential mode of the Corona-19 virus transmission's , only few oral manifestations were
reported5
, however dysgeusia ( include ageusia and hypogeusia) is the most common sign and it was found in (77% ) of
Covid-19 confirmed cases, dysosmia ( include anosmia and hyposmia) also is a very common symptom associated with
(64% ) of Covid-19 confirmed cases, both were nearly equal in both genders(50.7% male, 49.3% female).
Olfactory and taste disturbances due to Covid-19 are potential early markers, and helped in Algeria within the lack of
PCR test to detect the disease at it's early stage.
Treatment of dysgeusia included zinc intake , as an essential trace element that contributes to the active center of
approximately 300 enzymes , daily intake of 50mg orally administrated zinc showed its efficiency to improve taste and
treat dysgeusia , however (70%) of patients have chosen home herbal remedies like cinnamon powder , lemon leaves, and
coffee.
Regarding olfactory dysfunctions, deliberate sniffing of lemon, eucalyptus and mint for 1 minutes 4 times a day showed
big efficiency in taste disturbance.[5]
Meanwhile, a significant number of patients still suffer from loss of taste and smell even after recovery from Covid19
infection and use of drugs and herbal remedies , showing that the olfactory and taste impairments could in some cases
present one of long-term affects of Covid19 or even a possible irreversible damage. There was a report of a 29 year old
man recovered from Covid19 in December 2020 but still suffers until mars from taste and odor problems even after
consultation, taking zinc and using natural home remedies , and often presents a metallic taste, an atypical sweet and taste.
II-Oral lesions
As for oral lesions, their appearance was not an early marker since for (50.7%) of patients oral lesions appeared
simultaneously with systemic symptoms and (30.4%) appeared After systemic symptoms disappear.
Aphthous (34.4%) is the most common oral lesion found , presented as a painful ulcerations , from 2 to 10 mm in
diameter, with a round or an oval shape. Commissural cheilitis (30.5%) and fissured tongue (19.5%) are also two types of
oral lesions that have been frequently found. Site of manifestation is in descending order the dorsal surface of the tongue
(40%), labial mucosa (36%), gingiva, palat and buccal mucosa.
In (88%) of cases, oral lesions were symptomatic (pain, itch , burning sensation ) .[6]
In this case, association of taste's loss and painful mouth ulcers was a real suffering for the patient.
During the confinement, because of the closure of the most dental clinics for four months except for emergencies, only
(13%) of patients consulted because of oral lesions while others waited for spontaneous healing or used home herbal
remedies. Treatment in dental clinics included chlorhexidine mouthwash, nystatin, topic or systemic corticosteroids,
antibiotics, systemic acyclovir. [7]
Pomegranate peel extract, avoiding self-lacking the area, application of honey and controlling oral hygiene were treatment
of choice in home.
The impact of painful ulcerations on the general health of the patient
There was a report of a 80 year old diabetic female who takes insulin and suffers from very painful oral ulceration
concomitant with a covid19 infection transmitted by her son who is a nurse, the pain being rebellious to analgesic and
natural remedies pushed her to avoid eating which provoked severe hypoglycemia.
This patient reports that these oral lesions were the worst and the most painful in her life.
Candidiasis and white plaques
An oral candidiasis was reported in a 42-year-old male patient with poor oral hygiene, under antibiotic therapy for urinary
tract infection and azithromycin used to treat covid19.
Other rare oral manifestations
Hyposalivation, desquamative gingivitis, herpetiform ulcers, hemorrhagic crust, spontaneous bleeding and petechiae are
signs sometimes found in patients tested positive.
There was a report of a 67 year old male patient who tested positive and during his treatment suffered from a very
uncomfortable mouth dryness that imposed him to increase his water intake.

5. CONCLUSION
The oral cavity is a complex organ with a huge number of local affections, but it is also a main health indicator because of
manifestations with systemic origin , such as bacterial and viral infections. The dentist during his work should be attentive
and consider any loss of smell and taste and sometimes oral ulceration as a very likely indicator of covid19 infection.
With their recent re-opening and even if dental offices and primary health care centers are considered as a major source of
contamination and transmission of COVID-19 disease ; the dentist ; after making sure that all protective measures have
been taken , must contribute in diagnosis and orientation of Covid19 infections suspected cases after well knowing its oral
manifestations, especially when the world is facing a third dangerous wave and countries with weak health systems still
suffer from a lack of PCR tests and delayed vaccination. Once receiving a positive patient, the dentist must relieve
ulceration’s pain by a suitable treatment and also reassure him and make him aware of the importance of reserving contact
with people only when necessary and the necessity of using protective measures.
