Resumen
Objetivo: Informar un caso de lengua geográfica pasiva que se volvió activa debido a la presencia de estrés severo asociado a la pandemia de la enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Detalles del caso: En enero de 2019, una mujer caucásica de 42 años participó en una encuesta sobre lengua geográfica (LG). En ese momento, aunque informó ser portadora de la condición, en examen intraoral, no se observaron áreas atróficas ni márgenes blanquecinos en su lengua (signos clínicos clásicos de LG). En noviembre de 2010, fue nuevamente contactada y reportó cambios en su LG. En ese momento, los bordes laterales de su lengua presentaban áreas eritematosas rodeadas de márgenes blanquecinos. La participante de la investigación también informó que estaba bajo un estrés severo debido a la pandemia. Consideraciones finales: Este reporte de caso ha demostrado coherencia con los daos de la literatura sobre la aparición, empeoramiento de los síntomas y cambios en los aspectos clínicos de la lengua geográfica asociados a factores emocionales y psicológicos. Para asegurar que los cambios en los aspectos clínicos de la LG pueden estar relacionados con el estrés pandémico, se necesita más investigación de las manifestaciones orales de COVID-19.
