Objectives:Persistent olfactory dysfunction(OD)following loss of smell associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection is a major feature of long COVID.Perspectives on the prevalence of persistent OD predominantly rely on self-r...
Objectives:2019 novel coronavirus disease(COVID-19)infection is commonly associated with olfactory dysfunctions,but the basic pathogenesis of these complications remains controversial.This study seeks to evaluate the ...

Animals rely on olfaction to detect and process invaluable chemical information about their environment.For olfaction to function,chemicals must first be detected,which leads to the activation of signal-transduction p...
Objectives:Olfactory dysfunction is one of the most recognized symptoms of COVID-19,significantly impacting quality of life,particularly in cases where recovery is prolonged.This review aims to explore patterns of olf...
