BACKGROUND: The first European case series are detecting a very high frequency of chemosensitive disorders in COVID-19 patients, ranging between 19.4% and 88%. METHODS: Olfactory and gustatory function was objectively tested in 72 COVID-19 patients treated at University Hospital of Sassari. RESULTS: Overall, 73.6% of the patients reported having or having had chemosensitive disorders. Olfactory assessment showed variable degree hyposmia in 60 cases and anosmia in two patients. Gustatory assessment revealed hypogeusia in 33 cases and complete ageusia in one patient. Statistically significant differences in chemosensitive recovery were detected based on age and distance from the onset of clinical manifestations. CONCLUSION: Olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions represent common clinical findings in COVID-19 patients. Otolaryngologists and head-neck surgeons must by now keep this diagnostic option in mind when evaluating cases of ageusia and nonspecific anosmia that arose suddenly and are not associated with rhinitis symptoms.
背景:首个欧洲病例系列研究显示,COVID-19 患者中化学敏感性障碍的发生率非常高,范围在 19.4%至 88%之间。
方法:在萨萨里大学医院治疗的 72 名 COVID-19 患者中,我们对嗅觉和味觉功能进行了客观测试。
结果:总体而言,73.6%的患者报告有或曾经有化学敏感性障碍。嗅觉评估显示 60 例存在不同程度的嗅觉减退,2 例存在嗅觉丧失。味觉评估显示 33 例存在味觉减退,1 例存在完全味觉丧失。根据发病时间和临床表现的距离,发现化学敏感性恢复存在统计学显著差异。
结论:嗅觉和味觉功能障碍是 COVID-19 患者的常见临床发现。耳鼻喉科和头颈部外科医生在评估突然出现且与鼻炎症状无关的味觉丧失和非特异性嗅觉丧失病例时,现在必须考虑这种诊断选择。
