ABSTRACT

Chemical senses such as smell and taste are decisive in the quality of life and performance of some tasks of daily life. They are senses that play a fundamental role in everyday life and in interpersonal relationships. There are multiple pathologies that alter these senses, including viral infection diseases. Over the last few months, it has been shown that the virus responsible for the current pandemic (SARS-CoV-2) can generate changes in smell and taste secondary to its infection, these alterations being sometimes the first demonstrations. This review seeks to compile the information found in the medical literature and conclude the importance of taking these alterations into account when examining a patient and generating an alert regarding the possible isolation and / or treatment measures for these patients.
