Medical publications about anosmia with COVID-19 are scarce. We aimed to describe the prevalence and features of anosmia in COVID-19 patients.
We retrospectively included COVID-19 patients with anosmia between March 1st and March 17th, 2020. We used SARS-CoV-2 real time PCR in respiratory samples to confirm the cases.
Fifty-four of 114 patients (47%) with confirmed COVID-19 reported anosmia. Mean age of the 54 patients was 47 (±16) years; 67% were females and 37% were hospitalised. The median Charlson comorbidity index was 0.70 (±1.6 [0-7]). Forty-six patients (85%) had dysgeusia and 28% presented with pneumonia. Anosmia began 4.4 (±1.9 [1-8]) days after infection onset. The mean duration of anosmia was 8.9 (±6.3 [1-21]) days and 98% of patients recovered within 28 days.
Anosmia was present in half of our European COVID-19 patients and was often associated with dysgeusia.
有关 COVID-19 伴嗅觉丧失的医学文献很少。我们旨在描述 COVID-19 患者嗅觉丧失的患病率和特征。
我们回顾性纳入了 2020 年 3 月 1 日至 3 月 17 日期间患有嗅觉丧失的 COVID-19 患者。我们使用 SARS-CoV-2 实时 PCR 在呼吸道样本中确认病例。
在 114 例确诊 COVID-19 的患者中,有 54 例(47%)报告有嗅觉丧失。54 例患者的平均年龄为 47(±16)岁;67%为女性,37%住院。Charlson 合并症指数中位数为 0.70(±1.6 [0-7])。46 例(85%)有味觉障碍,28%出现肺炎。嗅觉丧失在感染后 4.4(±1.9 [1-8])天开始。嗅觉丧失的平均持续时间为 8.9(±6.3 [1-21])天,98%的患者在 28 天内恢复。
在我们的欧洲 COVID-19 患者中,有一半存在嗅觉丧失,并且常伴有味觉障碍。
