Sudden onset, acute loss of taste and smell in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review analysing the meager data based on the prevalence of chemosensory dysfunction in COVID-19. Critical analysis of such macro-data, as and when available, is essential to evaluate their utility as harbingers of COVID-19 onset, and to establish clinical practice guidelines both in dentistry and medicine.
