Oral lesions on a covid-19 patient: an autopsy study to elucidate coinfection

We present a case of a patient who died of complications of COVID-19. A 29-year-old woman presented multiple bleeding ulcerous lesions involving lips and inner lip mucosa. The patient was pregnant (29th week) and presented fever, diarrhea, dyspnea, nausea, dysgeusia, and anosmia in a 27-day evolution until death. The patient was admitted to the intensive care unit, submitted to mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, developed fetal distress, and was submitted to an emergency C-section.
