Abstract

(b) Penile fissuring and edema in a 26-year-old patient gl The mean latency time between the COVID-19 diagnosis, which was performed via reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, and the onset of the dermatological lesions was (4.1 ± 2.46) days for the patients who developed oral lesions. The lesions involved the oral mucosa in 10 patients and the genital mucosa in three patients. A systematic review from 2021 by Bhujel et al.[4] stated that COVID-19 may manifest as oral mucosa lesions, however, discerning whether such lesions are to be attributed to the virus only or to the treatment may be a challenging task.
