Abstrak

We describe two elderly patients evaluated at emergency departments for anosmia/dysgeusia in the absence of any other respiratory symptoms prior to or upon admission. In the current epidemiological context, clinical and biological work-up led to a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. Unfortunately, one of the patients died during hospitalization, but the other recovered and was discharged. LEARNING POINTS In the current epidemiological situation, anosmia and dysgeusia in the absence of other respiratory conditions should be carefully evaluated. Special attention should be given to patients with non-classic COVID-19 symptoms in order to reduce transmission and protect health providers
