摘要: Smell and taste disorders are acknowledged as characteristic symptoms for SARS-CoV-2 infection by now. These have been linked to a neuroinvasive course of disease. In this study, we investigated five consecutive COVID-19 patients with prolonged dysosmia dysgeusia. Those objectifiable alteration in or smell were subjected MRI contrast agent investigate possible involvement the central nervous system. We found dysgeusia be mostly objectifiable, but no evidence neuroinvasiveness could detected late stage Alterations objectified most patients. Nevertheless, potential identified MRI, at least encourage medical professionals conduct specialized examinations MRIs acute disease, which guarantees an optimum patient care.
