ABSTRACT

A 46-year-old female presented with dyspnea, dysphagia, and throat irritation with a diagnosis of tracheal metastasis resulting from a previously resected lung adenocarcinoma. Upper airway metastasis has a poor prognosis and is rarely observed. The clinical presentation manifests with cough and hemoptysis in most cases. Treatment includes surgical metastatic removal associated with combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Apresentar as características e os fatores prognósticos da anosmia e hiposmia em pacientes infectados com COVID-19 em uma cidade no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal através de contato telefônico, foi realizada uma pesquisa com questionário pré-estabelecido em uma população de 80 pacientes. Resultados: Entre os 80 participantes da pesquisa, 66,3% eram do sexo feminino. 90% relataram anosmia e 10% relataram hiposmia. 5% dos entrevistados evoluíram o quadro com internação hospitalar. 5% dos pacientes realizaram tratamento, sendo ele a terapia olfatória. Destes pacientes, 75% consideraram a terapia olfatória como um tratamento efetivo. Conclusões: O maior número de disfunção olfatória foi encontrado na menor faixa etária e em mulheres, variáveis associadas a um melhor prognóstico. A perda olfatória está relacionada com um curso mais brando da doença e consequentemente a um menor número de hospitalizações. Evidências apontam a terapia olfatória como um tratamento promissor.


Objective: To present the characteristics and prognostic factors of anosmia and hyposmia in patients infected with COVID-19 in a city in Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study through telephone contact, a survey was carried out with a pre-established questionnaire in a population of 80 patients. Results: Among the 80 research participants, 66.3% were female. 90% reported anosmia and 10% reported hyposmia. 5% of the interviewees evolved the condition with hospitalization. 5% of patients underwent treatment, which was olfactory therapy. Of these patients, 75% considered olfactory therapy to be an effective treatment. Conclusions: The highest number of olfactory dysfunction was found in the lowest age group and in women, variables associated with a better prognosis. Olfactory loss is related to a milder course of the disease and, consequently, to a lower number of hospitalizations. Evidence points to olfactory therapy as a promising treatment.
