ABSTRACT
The frequency of sudden loss of smell is quite high among the COVID-19 symptoms described. On the other hand, striking modifications can result due to viral infection in terms of neuronal renewal and function. Viral infections promote an increase in the turnover of the epithelium cells. A 55-year-old male patient who suffered from anosmia after a nasal trauma he received while doing kung-fu 34 years ago and whose sense of smell changed during COVID-19 is presented.
