INTRODUCTION: It is reported that coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can affect the
sense of smell and taste of infected people. The pathobiology of this virus is
still incompletely known, and it is therefore important to explore the impact of
COVID-19 infections on olfactory and gustatory functions. We aimed to review
current evidence on olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions caused by COVID-19.
METHODS: This study was a narrative review performed in 2020 to investigate the
olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions of the COVID-19. We searched eight keywords
in six databases to determine the related documents on the main objective of the
study. To discover studies meeting the inclusion criteria, the authors screened
the titles and abstracts of the identified articles. The appropriate studies were
included and their results were discussed to make the final selection. RESULTS:
We have studied 24 current articles on the olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions
due to COVID-19. A review of current studies has shown that we have a surge in
the spread of olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions that happened during the
epidemic of COVID-19 infection. Most studies (95.8%) have confirmed the symptoms
of anosmia in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. A review of current studies
showed that, in addition to anosmia, evidence of ageusia and dysgeusia
(parageusia) was also seen in patients with COVID-19. CONCLUSION: The results of
our study support recent reports that SARS-CoV-2 may infect oral and nasal
tissues and cause olfactory and gustatory dysfunctions. These findings may aid
future research on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of COVID-19
consequences.
