to detect, analyze and discuss the different ear nose throat (ENT) manifestations those were reported in COVID19 positive patients in the reviewed and published literatures.
We performed a search in the PubMed databases, Web of Science, LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Cochrane Library using the keywords; COVID-19, Novel coronavirus, corona, 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2, ENT, ear, nose, throat, otorhinolaryngology, ORL, pharynx, ORL, smell, larynx, different ENT related symptoms. We reviewed published and peer reviewed studies that reported the ENT manifestations in COVID-19 laboratory-confirmed positive patients.
within the included 1773 COVID-19 laboratory-confirmed positive patients, the most common ENT manifestations of COVID-19 were sore throat (11.3%) and headache (10.7%). While the other reported ENT manifestations were pharyngeal erythema (5.3%), nasal congestion (4.1%), runny nose or rhinorrhea (2.1%), upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) (1.9%), and tonsil enlargement (1.3%).
ENT manifestations for COVID-19 are not common as fever and cough. But, a universal questionnaire using well-defined COVID-19 manifestations is needed to make the COVID-19 data precisely defined, complete and homogenous.
检测、分析和讨论在已审阅和发表的文献中报告的新冠病毒病（COVID-19）阳性患者的不同耳鼻喉（ENT）表现。
我们使用关键词“COVID-19”“新型冠状病毒”“冠状病毒”“2019-nCoV”“SARS-CoV-2”“ENT”“耳”“鼻”“喉”“耳鼻喉科”“ORL”“咽”“ORL”“嗅觉”“喉”“不同的ENT相关症状”在PubMed数据库、科学网、拉丁美洲和加勒比卫生科学数据库、医学在线数据库、科学电子图书馆在线和考科蓝图书馆中进行检索。我们回顾了已发表且经过同行评审的研究，这些研究报告了COVID-19实验室确诊阳性患者的耳鼻喉表现。
在纳入的1773例COVID-19实验室确诊阳性患者中，COVID-19最常见的耳鼻喉表现是咽痛（11.3%）和头痛（10.7%）。其他报告的耳鼻喉表现为咽部红斑（5.3%）、鼻塞（4.1%）、流涕或鼻溢（2.1%）、上呼吸道感染（1.9%）和扁桃体肿大（1.3%）。
COVID-19的耳鼻喉表现不如发热和咳嗽常见。但是，需要一份使用明确的COVID-19表现的通用问卷，以使COVID-19数据得到精确界定、完整且统一。
