Abstract
DOMINGUEZ-RODAS, José; RAMIREZ-GARCIA, Sergio A.; DAVALOS-RODRIGUEZ, Nory O. and CABRERA-PIVARAL, Carlos E.. Palatopharyngeal vesicular enanthem, early finding of COVID-19. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, n.5, pp.692-693. Epub Oct 03, 2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000279.
Early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is very important to establish timely treatment. In the present report, through the examination carried out in otorhinolaryngology, we found a pearlescent vesicular enanthema in the upper palate in 954/958 patients with the classic strain and it was not found in patients with the English strain. This finding had not been reported. The patients were successfully treated on time, only two patients died, which was associated with decompensated diabetes mellitus. The present report suggests that the vesicular enanthem found is pathognomonic for Covid-19 classic strains.
