Objective:Olfactory and gustatory dysfunction that relates with the infection from severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has already improved. The relation between chemosensory dysfunction and age and gender in covid-19 positive patients is the main objective of the present study. Methods:We used a questionnaire to select information about medical history, patient demographics and reported symptoms during infection. Three hundred covid-19 positive patients, who underwent a RT-PCR test in the University Hospital of Ioannina, Grecce, were included in this study; 150 of them recovered at home and the remaining 150 were admitted to hospital. Statistical analysis based on ÉBM-SPSS Statistics 26.0 was done. Results:The total sample included 300 patients, of which 106 females and 194 males. There was a statistically significant difference between the subgroup of patients aged 21-25, 61-65 and 71-75 with loss of smell, that of hospitalized patients aged 41-45 with loss of smell and the subgroup of those aged 31-35 and 71-75 with loss of taste. Conclusion:There is a significant association between chemosensory dysfunction and younger age groups. Olfactory and gustatory dysfunction appears more frequently in women than men. Male gender relates with disease severity.
