ABSTRACT:

Anosmia, the loss of olfaction; could be neurosensorial or conductive. Viral rhinosinusitis continues to be the most common cause of anosmia. COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV2; it usually presents with symptoms of fever, cough, and fatigue. We report a case of a 64-year-old African American male, presenting with anosmia, anorexia, weight loss over six days. After conducting diagnostic tests, the chest CT showed bilateral lung parenchymal infiltrates, raising suspicion of COVID-19. PCR testing confirmed COVID-19. Keywords: Anosmia, COVID-19, SARS-CoV2.
