Abstract

Much - possibly even too much - has been published about chemosensory dysfunction as a consequence of COVID-19. Studies have reported prevalence of taste loss in up to 89.9%, which is in a similar range as COVID-19 related smell loss. However, most of these publications rely solely on patients' self-reports. Only few studies used validated psychophysical tests to specifically address olfaction and gustation. Especially for gustation, it is evident that subjective reporting does not correlate well with more objective psychophysical findings, often leading to an overestimation of subjectively impaired taste.

COVID-19 中的味觉缺失--心理物理证据支持低流行率。

关于 COVID-19 导致的化学感官功能障碍的报道已经很多，甚至可能太多。有研究报告称，味觉丧失的发生率高达 89.9% (1)，与 COVID-19 导致的嗅觉丧失的发生率相近。然而，这些出版物大多仅依赖于患者的自我报告。只有极少数研究使用了经过验证的心理物理测试来专门检测嗅觉和味觉。特别是在味觉方面，主观报告与更客观的心理物理结果之间显然没有很好的相关性，这往往会导致高估主观味觉受损的程度。
