COVID-19 Hastasında Atipik Koku Duyusu Değişimi: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

COVID-19’a dair tariflenen semptomlar arasında ani koku kaybının görülme sıklığı oldukça yüksektir. Öte yandan, viral enfeksiyonlar nöronal yenilenme ve işlev açısından çarpıcı değişiklikler ortaya çıkarabilir. Viral enfeksiyonlar, epitel hücrelerinin dönüşümünün artışına neden olabildiği gösterilmiştir. 34 yıl önce kung fu yaparken geçirdiği burun travması sonrası anosmi gelişen ve COVID-19 sırasında koku alma duyusunda değişim olan 55 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu.

Atypical Change of Smell Sense in a COVID-19 Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

The frequency of sudden loss of smell is quite high among the COVID-19 symptoms described. On the other hand, striking modifications can result due to viral infection in terms of neuronal renewal and function. Viral infections promote increase in the turnover of the epithelium cells. A 55-year-old male patient who suffered from anosmia after a nasal trauma he received while doing kung-fu 34 years ago and whose sense of smell changed during COVID-19 is presented.
