摘要: Abstract Objective Olfactory dysfunction in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. Thus, mechanistic data are needed to elucidate the pathophysiological drivers of anosmia COVID-19. Methods We performed current study patients who presented with and COVID-19 as documented by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay between April 1st May 15st, 2020. assessed for conductive causes computed tomography (CT) paranasal sinuses. Results 49 positive PCR were included. The average age was 45 ± 12.2 years. Complete present 85.7% 91.8% reported sudden onset olfactory dysfunction. Taste disturbance common (75.5%). There no significant pathological changes sinuses on CT scans. cleft ethmoid appeared normal while other sinuses, partial opacification detected only some cases. Conclusion did not find mucosal or abnormality imaging Conductive (i.e., disease) do seem play a role
