Clinical Features of Parosmia Associated With COVID-19 Infection

David K. Lerner et al.

Summary: COVID-19-related olfactory dysfunction is often associated with the development of parosmia, which can occur either at the onset of smell loss or after a delay. Despite better quantitative olfactory scores, respondents with parosmia report decreased quality of life. The majority of respondents with persistent parosmia have sought treatment.

Intranasal sodium citrate in quantitative and qualitative olfactory dysfunction: results from a prospective, controlled trial of prolonged use in 60 patients

K. L. Whitcroft et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of intranasal sodium citrate treatment on patients with post-infectious olfactory dysfunction. The results showed that sodium citrate did not significantly improve quantitative olfactory function but was effective in reducing phantosmia. Further research is needed to explore the potential benefits of sodium citrate in treating qualitative olfactory dysfunction.

Parosmia is Associated with Relevant Olfactory Recovery After Olfactory Training

David T. Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that the presence of parosmia is associated with clinically relevant recovery in olfactory discrimination and identification function in patients with PIOD receiving olfactory training, with patients who have lower baseline olfactory function being more likely to show significant improvements.

Altered smell and taste: Anosmia, parosmia and the impact of long Covid-19

Duika L. Burges Watson et al.

Summary: The alterations to taste and smell following Covid-19 can severely disrupt daily living, impacting psychological well-being, physical health, relationships, and one's sense of self, including decreased desire and ability to eat, weight changes, emotional well-being, professional practice, and disruptions to social bonding.

Symptoms of Depression in Patients with Chemosensory Disorders

Ben Chen et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of different types, severity, duration, or causes of chemosensory dysfunction on symptoms of depression. Results showed that patients with mixed olfactory/gustatory dysfunction had the highest depression scores, and anosmia patients exhibited more severe depression symptoms. Multiple linear regression analyses indicated a negative correlation between reduced olfactory function and depression symptoms.
