Our strategy in taste testing is based on an analysis of the ways in which the loss of taste is known to occur. Patients are tested with preparations that represent the four basic tastes because each taste has a separate mechanism that permits independent losses to occur. A range of concentrations are used in each test battery, since taste abnormalities can occur in only part of the concentration group. Various loci for taste are also tested because taste abnormalities can be limited to specific loci.
我们味觉测试的策略基于对已知味觉丧失发生方式的分析。用代表四种基本味觉的制剂对患者进行测试，因为每种味觉都有独立的机制，可能会出现单独丧失的情况。每个测试组使用一系列浓度，因为味觉异常可能仅发生在部分浓度组中。还会对不同的味觉部位进行测试，因为味觉异常可能局限于特定部位。
