Popis: Summary: Background & Aims: Chemosensory dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of a COVID-19 infection. While most patients recover within a few weeks after infection, in 5–10% of the patients chemosensory dysfunction turns into a long-term problem. While olfactory loss has been extensively investigated, information regarding taste and trigeminal function has remained scarce. The COVORTS study was set up to assess the natural progression of olfactory, taste and trigeminal alterations in a prospective cohort of COVID-19 patients. Methods: We included 76 patients aged between 18-60 years old with olfactory dysfunction (>1 month) after a recent (
