Inflammatory arthritis post COVID-19 infection affecting the temporomandibular joint
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has various disease manifestations primarily affecting the respiratory system with indirect effects on the musculoskeletal system. Signs and symptoms such as interstitial pneumonia, fatigue and headaches are well reported.2 While arthralgia is one of the most common symptoms, there is little reported data on inflammatory manifestations like arthritis post-COVID-19 infection. Here we report a case of inflammatory arthritis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) post-COVID-19 infection in a fit and healthy adult.
