Macroglossia is a condition in which the tongue grows abnormally large in comparison to other oral structures — and a Houston doctor is trying to figure out why at least nine COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized from it.
"It is psychologically depressing because they are looked at as an oddity," said Dr. James Melville of UTHealth School of Dentistry, per Newsweek's Aristos Georgiou. "They have to be on a feeding tube, a permanent tracheostomy for an airway, and there is an infection risk. The tongue completely dries out, so you have to wrap it to keep it moist so it doesn't crack and bleed."
All nine patients had been intubated in a hospital, with eight of them being African-American. Two of the patients had strokes before developing macroglossia, and the remaining seven had been hospitalized with COVID-19, as reported by Whitfield.
