After taking antibiotics for an infection, this woman developed a black and "hairy" tongue.
A 55-year-old woman's tongue took on a black, "hairy" appearance after the woman was treated with antibiotics for an infection following a car accident.
The accident crushed both of her legs and led her to develop a polymicrobial wound infection — an infection caused by more than one microbe, according to a case report published yesterday (Sept. 6) in The New England Journal of Medicine.
