Tongue angioedema in an intubated patient with COVID-19. The photograph was taken one day after the onset of tongue swelling. Dry, cracked blistering lesions on the tongue were noted. A bedside examination did not reveal any laryngeal swelling, evidence of traumatic intubation, or self-inflicted trauma, such as bite marks. No lip or periorbital swelling was present. COVID-19, coronavirus disease 2019.
