Title: Objective olfactory testing in patients presenting with sudden onset olfactory dysfunction as the first manifestation of confirmed COVID-19 infection
  • Document date: 2020_4_18

    Snippet: The results of this study give further support to the urgent need to add anosmia to the list of symptoms used in screening tools for possible COVID-19 infection. The current evidence base makes it untenable to continue to disregard this symptom any longer. Use of loss of smell -even if occurring in the absence of non-otolaryngological symptoms-as a marker will be a very useful weapon in the COVID-19 fight, especially in countries where access to .....
    Document: The results of this study give further support to the urgent need to add anosmia to the list of symptoms used in screening tools for possible COVID-19 infection. The current evidence base makes it untenable to continue to disregard this symptom any longer. Use of loss of smell -even if occurring in the absence of non-otolaryngological symptoms-as a marker will be a very useful weapon in the COVID-19 fight, especially in countries where access to testing will be greatly limited. Future clinical and basic science researches are needed to better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 patients.
