We called all patients who reported anosmia during their time of illness and asked them about anosmia. We examined their chest CT. A statistical analysis was done.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003A total of 140 patients completed the study; 65% were female and 56.4% had complete anosmia. Anosmia was significantly associated with loss of taste. Smell returned in 92.5% of anosmic patients. Duration of smell loss was \u223c 2 weeks in 40.5%. The most common symptoms associated with anosmia were running nose, sore throat, fever, and cough. Loss of smell was significantly associated with mild chest disease. 73.4% of anosmic patients had mild chest infection, 21.5% of them had moderate infection, and 5.1% had severe chest infection.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The pattern of anosmia in COVID-19 patients has some common similarities in general; the way it starts, the associated symptoms, the time until smell returns and, the most important, the severity of chest infection. As anosmia is significantly associated with mild chest infection. the presence of anosmia could be an independent predictor of good COVID-19 outcome as reflected by a lower disease severity and less frequent ICU admissions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1758716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,26]],"date-time":"2023-01-26T23:33:25Z","timestamp":1674776005000},"page":"e143-e151","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Anosmia
