The most commonly used method in the diagnosis of coronavirus disease-19 is to take swabs from specific areas in the upper respiratory tract, especially the nasopharynx. In this article, it was aimed to compare the effects of transoral/transnasal nasopharyngeal swab methods on anxiety score before and after the procedure. Method(s): This study was designed as a prospective randomized clinical trial. Hundred and four volunteers between the ages of 18-65 were included in the study, and volunteers were divided into 2 groups. Transoral method was applied to group-1 and transnasal method was applied to group-2. Visual Analog Scale scoring was performed to measure the anxiety/pain/general discomfort levels of the participants before and after the procedure. Result(s): In this study, 50 volunteers from the transoral group and the rest 54 volunteers from the transnasal group, a total of 104 individuals were included. Before the procedure, no statistically significant difference in anxiety levels was observed between the groups. However, anxiety, pain, and general discomfort levels during the procedure were found to be lower in group 1. Conclusion(s): In the light of the results of our trial, we suggest that the transoral nasopharyngeal swab method can be a better alternative in selected patient groups. The prime advantage of this procedure is that it causes less pain and general discomfort. We think that many complications encountered in the transnasal method can be overcome by the transoral method. Copyright © 2022 B-ENT.

A 45-year-old man presented with visual loss, headache, and numbness in the palate and the left mid-face. The patient had been administered methylprednisolone for coronavirus disease-2019 disease at another hospital. The head and neck examination revealed ophthalmoplegia and chemosis in the left eye and hypoesthesia in the site under the left orbit. Endoscopic nasal examination revealed a black eschar tissue on the left inferior turbinate and the middle meatus. Liposomal amphotericin B was promptly administered with a dose of 5 mg/kg with a preliminary diagnosis of mucormycosis. Urgent endoscopic medial maxillectomy and orbital decompression were performed. Once total visual loss was seen in the patient in the follow-up period, orbital exenteration was performed. The diagnosis of mucormycosis was made based on the histopathological examination, which revealed non-septate hyphae causing invasion in the tissues and the blood vessels. There was no growth of specific fungal microorganisms in the tissue cultures. The patient has been alive during the 2 months follow-up periods and no complications were observed. Patients with coronavirus disease-2019 should be closely monitored in terms of the underlying disease and mucormycosis. Corticosteroids should be administered carefully in coronavirus disease-2019 patients.
