Separating the wheat from the chaff —COVID-19 in a German emergency department: a case-control study

ConclusionDysgeusia seems to be a typical symptom for COVID-19, which occurred in 14% of our COVID-19 patients. However, no valid parameters could be found to distinguish clinically between COVID-19 and other diseases with similar symptoms. Therefore, early testing, a strict isolation policy, and proper personal protection are crucial to maintain workflow and safety of patients and ED staff for the months to come.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trials registry,DRKS00021675
