Inficeret orofaryngeal hæmatom efter SARS-CoV-2 svælgpodning

Sakshi Andersen, Mattis Jørgensen, Harpa Maria Ingolfsdottir

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has led to extensive testing by oropharyngeal swab. Although it is a relatively uncomplicated procedure, complications may occur. This is a case report of an 81-year-old male with a history of atrial flutter receiving anticoagulant therapy, who developed an oropharyngeal haematoma and subsequent infection following a test for SARS-CoV-2 by oropharyngeal swab. Anticoagulant therapy is widely used and should lead to caution when performing oropharyngeal swabs.
