More and more research indicates that a long time is far from rare development. The provisional result published on June 21 of a long -term Dutch study has just revealed that around 50% of all patients registered in this great study have stillone or more coated symptoms Three months after being infected for the first time by the virus. At the same time, new data from the National CDC Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) revealed thatAlmost one in five American co -vocative survivors have a long covid version.

Zhao was also the main author of a May 2022 study published in theMeditateJournal, whoAnalysis the extension loss of odor and taste of years after an initial cocovious infection.

"Some of our patients are comfortable, even during the first wave, which is March 2020-they still have a loss of the smell," he told the media. "We do not know exactly for each patient how long they can have it, but we think that there could be a range of symptoms with this duration - some could recover very quickly, [like] in a few days or even two weeks, [but] some might persist in the months, even years.

The main concern is not necessarily the number of people experience a loss of odor or taste - or the fact that this symptom can last for years. Instead, Zhao warned that this long cocvid problem is in fact without being detected by many people. According to the health expert, around 50% of patients previously infected with COVID who have not reported a continuous smell or loss of taste have been "objectively" found as a loss of odor during the test.

"Many people who had a covid in the past, probably with the original variants of the virus, have suffered a certain loss of the smell, even if theyI didn't think they had done, "Susan Travers, PHD, co-author of the study and professor of bioscience at the Ohio State dentistry college, said in a statement by Ohio State News. "This suggests that long-term impact on sensory function is not captured by self-assessment."

Loss of odor or taste can affect people in different ways. On the one hand, according to Zhao, this could "affect their nutritional contribution or their food intake". But that could also put you in more immediate danger, especially if you do not realize that these senses are underperformants. Zhao declared that his "major concern" for people with an unusual smell and loss of taste is that they may not be able to feel potentially fatal situations, such as a gas leak, A fire or the presence of dangerous chemicals.

"There are workers who test solvents, and we have patients who have in fact been struck, working in an environment confined with solvents or with chemicals that they were not aware," He explained toPharmacy . "Thus, people with a good smell function can detect this and leave or ventilate, but some patients with loss of odor cannot detect this environmental danger, and this could be a real risk for them."

This problem is more exacerbated by the fact that if most of our other senses are systematically tested, such as sight and hearing, "nobody receives a taste or smell exam", warned Zhao, adding that, let's hope -The aware of this question will push more clinics to get tools to test patients and make them "know the state of their sensory function".
