Subjective Smell Disturbances in Children with Sars-Cov-2 or Other Viral Infections do not Correspond with Olfactory Test Results

Tuesday, January 23, 2024 - 4:00 AM

CONCLUSION: Questionnaires are unsuitable for assessing hyposmia frequency in children. Olfactory complaints and hyposmia are not specific for SARS-CoV-2 infection. The number of complaints in the long-COVID group could result from aversive olfactory
