What is COVID-19: Ageusia and Anosmia Insights about?

This document discusses potential causes of ageusia (loss of taste) and anosmia (loss of smell) in COVID-19 patients based on a literature review. It proposes that SARS-CoV-2 may cause ageusia by binding to ACE2 receptors in the oral cavity and tongue, and could cause anosmia by damaging olfactory pathways or through a cytokine response. Future research on the topic could help clarify the pathogenic mechanisms underlying chemosensory disorders in COVID-19.
