LOSS OF SMELL AND TASTE IN COVID19 PATIENTS
Keywords:
COVID-19, smell, taste, AnosmiAbstract
This study focuses on the assessment and knowledge of loss of smell and taste in covid19 patients. As 200 patients were collected from Azady Teaching Hospital, Kirkuk, Iraq . The samples were divided into 67 women and 124 men, The average age of patients ranged from 30 to 66 years as they were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection by rt-PCR for respiratory samples and through the use of a questionnaire consisting of a number of questions in assessing symptoms of olfactory loss and age and it was found that there is a significant linear relationship of 0.001, and this indicates that there is a large role for co-19 on the prevalence of loss of sense of smell and taste.
