ABSTRACT
Taste disturbances are present in 20.3-88.0% of COVID-19 cases and are the first signs of infection in 11.0-18.1% of cases. They often manifested 3-7 days after the onset of general respiratory symptoms and last 2 to 16 days, followed by recovery. There are also prolonged disturbances of taste sensation (up to 61-76 days or more), which is associated with damage to various types of receptor cells of the mucous membrane of the tongue. More severe taste disturbances are recorded in the elderly. In women, changes in taste sensation are noted more often than in men, and with a longer recovery period. Severe and critical forms of taste disorders predominate in COVID-19; dysgeusia, as a rule, prevails over hypogeusia and ageusia. Taste disturbance is a common clinical symptom in COVID-19, which can and should be considered as a marker of early manifestation of coronavirus infection.
