To the Editor: Monitoring of olfactory function and diagnosis of olfactory disorders using the pen-based "Sniffin' Sticks test" is problematic during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic due to hygienic concerns. The aim of this study was to find out whether the results of olfactory testing obtained by presenting odours on a single-use filter paper is identical to performing the test by presenting the odour pens according to the manufacturer's manual.
由于卫生方面的考虑,在 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间,使用基于笔的“Sniffin' Sticks 测试”来监测嗅觉功能和诊断嗅觉障碍存在问题。本研究的目的是确定通过在一次性滤纸上呈现气味来获得嗅觉测试结果是否与按照制造商的手册使用气味笔呈现气味来进行测试的结果相同。
