COVID-19 asymptomatic cases increases the risks of disease dissemination with even greater risk for physicians given the shortage of personal protective equipment. Here we report on the consistent finding of frequent presentation of anosmia or hyposmia in COVID-19 patients, even in the absence of other symptoms and without other olfactory or nasal findings. In the uncertainty of the clinical characteristics of these patients, this symptom can be a tool to reduce the spread of the infection between medical population.

Abstract
COVID-19 asymptomatic cases increases the risks of disease dissemination with even greater risk for physicians given the shortage of personal protective equipment. Here we report on the consistent finding of frequent presentation of anosmia or hyposmia in COVID-19 patients, even in the absence of other symptoms and without other olfactory or nasal findings. In the uncertainty of the clinical characteristics of these patients, this symptom can be a tool to reduce the spread of the infection between medical population.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
