Another study from Europe hypothesized that olfactory disturbances could be highly associated with mild or moderate cases, even with a small sample size. [1] [2] [3] [4] Future studies should clarify whether this chemosensory loss differs according to COVID-19 severity or hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. Regarding pathophysiology, the severe inflammation due to virus infection still needs better understanding, and maybe autopsies of patients who died could compare tissue damage between the olfactory epithelium and the bulb. This may be the underlying mechanism for reported cases of smell dysfunction in patients with COVID 19.
