Abstract

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the infection with SARS-CoV2 is related to variable buccal clinical manifestations that can include from light or almost nonexistent symptoms until fatal complications. 

Objective: To describe the buccal clinical manifestations in patients with positive quick test due to covid-19. 

Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study of 54 patients with positive quick test due to covid-19 that presented buccal clinical manifestations was carried out. They were assisted in the Emergency Service of Respiratory Diseases of José Martí Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba from January to August, 2021. The analyzed variables were the presence or absence of symptoms, type, localization and onset moment. The absolute and relative frequencies were used as summary measures. 

Results: In the series the symptomatic patients prevailed (75.9 %); as long as, the diffuse erythema was the most frequent lesion (14.8 %) and xerostomia was the only manifestation among the asymptomatic patients.  It is necessary to highlight that most of the buccal clinical manifestations were present before the onset of general symptoms (63.4 %). 

Conclusions: In patients with positive quick test due to covid-19 the presence of buccal clinical manifestations was confirmed.
