The present study concludes that the onset of symptoms of loss of smell and taste, associated with COVID-19, occurs 4 to 5 days after other symptoms, and that these symptoms last from 7 to 14 days. Findings, however, varied and there is therefore a need for further studies to clarify t...
A team of researchers at Harvard Medical School are beginning to understand the reason why COVID-19 patients are losing their sense of smell. BOSTON - Temporary loss of smell is one of the earliest and most commonly reported COVID-19 symptoms. Although studies reported ...
Does common cold cause loss of smell? “Usually when people have a cold, they have congestion and a runny nose, and they can't breathe through their nose,” he says. “At the base level that usually causes a temporary reduction in smell. However, once the congestion resolves, in patients...

Interpretation of the test result: Positive:IgG antibody presence may indicate exposure and immune response to COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus Negative:IgG antibody absence does not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in recent contact with the virus. Follow-up ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel virus responsible for the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, has infected over 3.5 million people all over the world since the first case was reported from Wuhan, China 5 months ago. As more epidemiologica...
the total loss of smell happened a day after the appearance of other symptoms. That made Prof. Sobel wonder if a more subtle, gradual loss of smell could be a much-needed early warning of COVID-19. However, the challenge is to find a way to detect that. ...
Researchers studying tissue removed from patients noses during surgery believe they may have discovered the reason why so many people with COVID-19 lose their sense of smell, even when they have no other symptoms.
