Objective To identify the taste and smell impairment in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–positive subjects and compare the findings with COVID-19–negative subjects using the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Anosmia Reporting Tool. Setting Tertiary referral center/COVID-19 pandemic hospital. Study Design Comparative study. Subjects and Methods After power analysis, 128 subjects were divided into 2 groups according to real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) COVID-19 testing results. Subjects were called via telephone, and the AAO-HNS Anosmia Reporting Tool was used to collect responses. Results The mean age of the study group was 38.63 ± 10.08 years. At the time of sampling, rhinorrhea was significantly high in the COVID-19–negative group, whereas those complaints described as “other” were significantly high in the COVID-19–positive group. There was a significant difference in the smell/taste impairment rates of the groups (n = 46% [71.9%] for the COVID-19–positive group vs n = 17 [26.6%] for the COVID-19–negative group, P = .001). For subjects with a smell impairment, anosmia rates did not differ between the groups. The rates of hyposmia and parosmia were significantly high in the COVID-19–positive group. For the subjects with taste impairment, ageusia rates did not differ between groups. The rate of hypogeusia and dysgeusia was significantly high in the COVID-19–positive group. Logistic regression analysis indicates that smell/taste impairment in COVID-19–positive subjects increases the odds ratio by 6.956 (95% CI, 3.16-15.29) times. Conclusion COVID-19–positive subjects are strongly associated with smell/taste impairment.

“…The world was faced with a novel form of coronavirus, named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), by the World Health Organization (WHO) in December 2019. According to the Coronavirus Study Group (CSG) of the International Committee, the virus became known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (Sayin et al, 2020) [ 1 ]. In the early phases of the pandemic, fever, dyspnea, coughing, and travel to endemic counties were used as the main screening parameters.…”

In this paper, we report three cases of pediatric patients with COVID-19 infection who presented with different symptoms and also anosmia and/or ageusia. The common feature of these 3 patients is that the smell and / or taste disorder developed without nasal symptoms such as nasal congestion, nasal obstruction or rhinorrhea. Although 40% of anosmies contains viral etiologies, COVID- 19 differs from other viral anosmies by the lack of nasal congestion and runny nose. Coronaviruses could invade the brain via the cribriform plate close to the olfactory bulb and the olfactory epithelium. We may expect some structural changes in the olfactory bulb so we evaluated our patient with cranial imaging.

Çin'in Wuhan kentinde Aralık 2019'da sebebi bilinmeyen pnömoni vakaları ortaya çıktı. Bu hastalardaki pnömoni etkeninin insan koronavirüslerinin yeni bir türü 'severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2' (SARS-CoV-2; önce nCoV-2019 olarak isimlendirildi) olduğu tanımlandı. Şubat 2020'de Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) bu virüsün neden olduğu hastalığın adına; koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COrona VIrus Disase 2019; COVID-19) adlandırmasını yapmıştır. Çin, İtalya ve İran'dan elde edilen kanıtlar Kulak Burun Boğaz (KBB) uzmanlarının çeşitli açılardan COVİD-19 bulaşma riskinin çok yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. KBB muayenesi sırasında üst solunum yolu mukozaları ile teması olması ve hasta sekresyonlarına maruz kalması nedeniyle bu risk oluşmaktadır. Bu makalede, COVİD-19 salgını için Kulak Burun Boğaz pratiğinde hekimlerin karşı karşıya kaldıkları riskler, sık karşılaşılan problemler ve onlara güncel literatür eşliğinde çözüm yolu sunulmaya çalışılmıştır.
