The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an ongoing viral pandemic that emerged from East Asia and quickly spread to the rest of the world. This infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Recently, there have been numerous reports in the media that anosmia occurs in patients who have contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by exposure to the SARS-COV-02 virus. The COVID-19 is usually characterized by upper and lower airway symptoms, such as fever, cough, dyspnea, sputum production, myalgia, arthralgia, headache, diarrhea, rhinorrhea, and sore throat. However, the spread of the virus worldwide has shown atypical complaints, such as olfaction and gustatory dysfunction.[1] [2] [3]
