RESULTS: This study showed 3 major findings: the right and left OC widths were significantly wider in anosmic patients due to SARS-CoV-2 (group 1) or OD due to non–SARS-CoV-2 viral infection (group 2) when compared to healthy controls. Exclusion criteria for groups 1 and 2 were age younger than 18 years, pregnancy, normosmia detected on Sniffin' Sticks olfactory test (a threshold discrimination identification [TDI] score of .30.5), acute and/or chronic rhinosinusitis or other acute/chronic nasal disease, nasal polyposis, allergic or idiopathic rhinitis, posttraumatic olfactory loss, severe turbinate hypertrophy or nasal septum deviation affecting the air passage, malignancy history, and a history of nasal or paranasal surgery. ./cache/cord-315666-ngozukzj.txt ./txt/cord-315666-ngozukzj.txt
