Fewer and fewer Covid-19 positive people suffer from loss of taste and smell, according to an American study.
The coronavirus evolves, its symptoms too. Loss of taste and smell are no longer part of the symptoms of Covid-19 according to the results of a american study.
Only a few cases still show these specific symptoms of the virus. “Around three out of 100 people affected by Covid have their sense of smell affected,” said Evan Reiter, medical director of a center dedicated to smell and taste in the United States, in the Washington Post.
The scientist led the research of the study published in an otorhinolaryngology journal which claims that anosmia and ageusia are no longer among the primary characteristics of Covid-19. If you have these symptoms, they may be related to a cold or another illness.
consequence of immunity and vaccination
The researchers studied data from thousands of patients between April 2020 and October 2022 and concluded that the loss of the senses of smell and taste were linked to immunity and vaccination. Indeed, the immune system managed to protect itself once morest the loss of these senses, the impact of the vaccine having also played its part.
In France, the Covid-19 is keeping a low profile even if it continues to circulate. According to the latest epidemiological bulletin of the Sentinels network published on July 30, the incidence rate was 19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
