Phantosmia has been described as a sense of smell without a true stimulating odor and not been reported with COVID-19 disease. Nine patients admitted to Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Clinic with complaints of a phantom smell sense after an average of 33.5 ± 9.5 days after the initial PCR diagnosis. According to the Sniffin 'Sticks test, phantosmia was associated with objective hyposmia in three patients with the persistent phantom smell, and other six patients were detected normosmic. Phantosmia or olfactory hallucinations have not been previously associated with COVID-19 disease. Additionally, COVID-19 related phantosmia showed different characteristics according to described in the literature.

嗅觉幻觉被描述为一种没有真正刺激气味的嗅觉,且尚未有与新冠病毒疾病相关的报道。9名患者因在初次PCR诊断后平均33.5±9.5天出现嗅觉幻觉而入住耳鼻喉科诊所。根据嗅觉棒测试,3名持续出现嗅觉幻觉的患者的嗅觉幻觉与客观嗅觉减退有关,另外6名患者嗅觉正常。嗅觉幻觉或幻嗅此前尚未与新冠病毒疾病相关联。此外,新冠病毒相关的嗅觉幻觉表现出与文献中描述不同的特征。
