9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Loss of taste and smell are common in COVID-19 patients, and it often occurs before other symptoms, a new study says. It included 93 people, average age 63, with COVID-19 who were admitted to an Italian hospital in March. None of them ended up in ...
“More than other senses, both smell and taste refer to the emotional and affective level of [an] experience. These senses cannot be communicated through social networks — like ideas, imaging, and music — but instead, sharing them requires coexistence. Thus, loss of the sense of smell and ...

It was unclear if this represented a full or partial recovery, however. The researchers estimated that loss of smell may persist in 5.6 percent of patients, while 4.4 percent may not fully recover their sense of taste. One woman told the researchers that she had not recovered her sense of ...
A significant proportion of people infected with SARS-CoV-2 report a new onset of smell or taste loss. The duration of the chemosensory impairment and predictive factors of recovery are still unclear. We aimed to investigate the prevalence, temporal course and recovery predictors in patients who ...
Once a hallmark sign of many COVID-19 cases — sometimes more reliable than even flu-like symptoms at sniffing out people infected by the virus early in the pandemic— was the sudden loss of smell and taste. But growing research suggests this symptom has become far less common, with only ...

The study found that around 72% of patients fully recovered their sense of smell, but 24% had only a partial recovery, and more than 3% had no recovery. Similarly, of those who experienced a loss of taste due to COVID, about 76% fully recovered the sense, 20% only partially...
