Resumo

Objetivo: Compreender o perfil clínico dos pacientes com perda olfatória devido a infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2, além de sua persistência ao longo do período do estudo e a presença de possíveis fatores associados. Métodos: Inicialmente, foi colhido questionário via formulário online a fim de avaliar as queixas do paciente, e em seguida foram realizadas avaliações presenciais para realização de testes olfatórios a fim de mensurar a anosmia. Resultados: 75 pacientes foram incluídos no estudo, 56 (75%) do sexo feminino e 19 (25%) do sexo masculino. Em relação ao estudo do sentido do olfato realizado de forma presencial, foi observado que, à medida que mais avaliações eram realizadas, melhor se tornava a percepção deste sentido pelo paciente. Entretanto, nem todos os 75 pacientes contidos na amostra conseguiram realizar todas as avaliações sugeridas. Conclusão: A investigação para um melhor manejo dos distúrbios olfatórios deve ser contínua, pois muitas questões seguem incertas, principalmente as relacionadas à fisiopatologia, à avaliação objetiva da anosmia e ao seu tratamento.
