In a household study, loss of taste and/or smell was the fourth most reported symptom (26/42 [62%]) among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case patients and had the highest positive predictive value (83% [95% confidence interval [CI], 55%-95%) among household contacts. Olfactory and taste dysfunctions should be considered for COVID-19 case identification and testing prioritization.
在一项家庭研究中,失去味觉和/或嗅觉是 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)病例患者中报告第四多的症状(42 例中有 26 例[62%]),在家庭接触者中具有最高的阳性预测值(83%[95%置信区间[CI],55%-95%])。嗅觉和味觉障碍应考虑用于 COVID-19 病例识别和检测的优先级。
