- Abstract
Due to the global burden of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is a coming deluge of patients seeking care for persistent olfactory dysfunction and asking for prognostic indications. The Sniffin' Sticks Test confirmed self-reported olfactory dysfunction, identifying 11 patients (61.1%) as hyposmic (score 8-10 points) and 7 (38.9%) patients as anosmic (score <8 points). Fifteen patients (26.8%) with severe trigeminal nasal sensation impairment at the diagnosis reported a persistent smell reduction at 6-months follow-up.
