Olfactory and gustatory function impairment in <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 patients: Italian objective multicenter‐study

Abstract

Patients under-report the frequency of chemosensitive disorders. Contrary to recent reports, such objective testing refutes the proposal that the presence of olfactory and gustatory dysfunction may predict a milder course, but instead suggests that those with more severe disease neglect such symptoms in the setting of severe respiratory disease.
