Abstract: | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). From March 2020, several studies indicate that many subjects affected by mild-to-moderate COVID-19 presented olfactory/gustatory dysfunction (OD/GD) that appeared strongly correlated between them but not with the other symptoms suggestive of upper airway infectionIn order to evaluate patterns of gustatoy recovery, data from patients with confirmed COVID-19 were collected prospectively from 4 University Hospitals. At this relatively early point in the pandemic, the authors considered that subjective patterns of recovery of olfactory disfunction in COVID-19 patients are valuable for our patients, for hypothesis generation and treatment development. |
