A new hidden viewer of the Corona virus

A new symptom of the Corona virus has not been detected before. Where medical sources confirmed that the emerging corona virus causes fever, cough, shortness of breath, and even problems in the lungs, however, specialists are currently warning of another symptom related to Covid-19, which lies in the loss of the sense of smell.

In recent days, otolaryngologists have noticed "an increase in cases of loss of smell," according to French Deputy Health Minister Jerome Salomon said Friday when presenting the daily report on the virus in France.

Salomon pointed out that these cases are represented by a “sudden loss” of smell without a blockage in the nose, sometimes even associated with a loss of taste.

Cases of anosmia detected by COVID-19 patients may occur in isolation or with other symptoms related to the virus.

Jerome Salomon pointed out that in cases of loss of smell, “you should contact the attending physician and avoid self-medication without consulting experts.”

relatively rare

However, this phenomenon is still “relatively rare” and is recorded “generally” among young patients who show “not advanced” forms of the disease, according to the official in the Ministry of Health.

On Friday, the Association of Otolaryngologists in France issued an appeal regarding the increase in these cases, which was shared by doctors on social media.

The president of the National Council of Otolaryngologists, Jean-Michel Klein, confirmed to AFP that there was an "intuitive link" in these cases.

He said, "Not all of those laboratory-confirmed that they have corona have lost their smell, but all isolated cases of people who have no smell without local causes or infections are infected with Covid-19."

According to the first cases reported by the network of physicians who specialize in these cases, most of the patients involved in these cases are young people between the ages of 23 and 45. Many health professionals, including a large number of otolaryngologists, were also injured.

Jean-Michel Klein explained that “people who feel their sense of smell should be quarantined as a precautionary measure and they should wear a mask even at the family level.”

Contrary to what happens in cases of traditional olfactory loss, the doctor recommends not taking corticosteroids, which “reduce immune defenses,” and not cleaning the nose, because this “may transmit the virus from the nasal mucosa to the lungs.”
