London/Munich - The coronavirus pandemic is currently affecting the lives of many people in Germany and around the world. In many countries, the second wave* has arrived. However, the Sars-CoV-2 virus has not yet been conclusively researched. Scientists around the world are constantly finding new information about the effects and spread of the coronavirus. Two studies from England and Spain have now identified a new symptom that could indicate an infection.
Coronavirus: Studies identify new symptom
Spanish researchers have already found a conspicuous accumulation of white and red dots on the tongue in a study in a temporary hospital for corona patients. According to the British Sun, a total of 666 patients were observed, who had mild to severe symptoms. In 46 percent, i.e. about half of the Covid-19 patients examined, the strain on the immune system manifested itself in a rash, which in many occurred mainly on the hands and feet. What the tongue coloration says about the state of health, reports 24vita.de*.
Corona: Blistering in the mouth as a possible sign of infection
At 29 percent, a good third of those infected with Corona had blisters in their mouths. Small red and white dots appeared on the tongue of the respective persons. Another study from England then looked specifically at corona patients in whom this symptom could be recognized. Experts at King's College London are now calling for this clinical picture to be officially listed among the corona symptoms*.
The London study showed that skin rashes associated with corona infection are common in children. The rashes often do not disappear until weeks after the infection has subsided. For most experts, rashes are already recognized as a symptom of infection with the coronavirus. The formation of blisters in the mouth has not yet affected this.
Coronavirus: New and Common Symptoms of Infection
Again and again there are reports of new corona symptoms. A French study, for example, shows that acute abdominal pain can also be an atypical symptom of a corona infection. Bruises and itchy rashes on the toes have also been observed in infected people. However, the most important symptoms* that indicate infection with the coronavirus continue to be fever, cough, sore throat and breathing problems. The loss of sense of taste and smell is also a warning sign that sufferers should respond to. (ph) *Merkur.de and 24vita.de are offered by IPPEN. MEDIA.
