Anosmia and Ageusia: Common Findings in COVID‐19 Patients	2020-04-15		.txt	text/plain	575	38	46	In a not negligible number of patients affected by COVID‐19 (coronavirus disease 2019), especially if paucisymptomatic, anosmia and ageusia can represent the first or only symptomatology present. Europe and America currently represent the new front where the battle against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is being fought. In the centers that are facing this emergency, a significant number of patients presenting anosmia and ageusia associated with fever (> 37.5 C) as onset symptoms are being detected. Anosmia has already been reported in the course of SARS 2 and other coronavirus 3,4 infections; however, it represents a rare occurrence. In a non-negligible number of patients, especially if paucisymptomatic, ageusia and anosmia can represent the first or the only symptomatology manifestation. It will be important, when feasible, to obtain olfactory and gustatory testing data on patients with confirmed COVID-19 testing to provide quantitative data on the incidence and severity of these sensory losses.	./cache/cord-292711-c5np5bar.txt	./txt/cord-292711-c5np5bar.txt
