Loss of Smell, Taste a Hallmark of COVID-19 More HealthDay WEDNESDAY, Dec. 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...
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 ...
COVID-19 symptoms vary from person to person, but for weeks now, those who've been diagnosed with the virus have reported losing some sense of smell and taste.
Chemosensory scientists have been skeptical that reports of COVID-19 taste loss are genuine, in part because before COVID-19 taste loss was rare and often confused with smell loss. Therefore, to establish the predicted prevalence rate of taste loss in COVID-19 patients, we conducted a systemat...
Around five percent of people who have had COVID-19 develop long-lasting problems with their sense of smell or taste, a large study said Thursday, potentially contributing to the burden of long COVID.
Changes in the recognition of sweet taste occur in approximately one-third of patients, while bitterness (responsible for meat aversion), sourness, and saltiness are less frequently affected [24].

Using online surveys, we collected data regarding COVID-19-related loss of smell or taste from 69,841 individuals. We performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study and identified a genome-wide significant locus in the vicinity of the UGT2A1 and UGT2A2 genes. Both genes are expresse...
