Smell loss associated with SARS-CoV-2 is not clinically different from other viruses: a multicenter cohort study

CONCLUSION: Patients with sudden smell loss associated with SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses had similar presentation, with most participants initiating with anosmia, and total or near total recovery after 60 days. SARS-CoV-2 viral load and co-infections with other respiratory viruses were not associated with poorer olfactory outcomes.PMID:37772802 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.116
