Sumario: | About the neurological manifestations of COVID-19, smell impairment with some distortion or parosmia is currently one of the longest-lasting post-covid sequelae affecting many young adults around the world, we present a case of a 25yo patient that after the COVID-19 infection initiates with anosmia and dysgeusia of difficult control and some weeks later begins with parosmia associated to general discomfort and vomiting preceded by nausea, accompanied by poor oral intake, generating weight loss in 3 weeks, and depression probably related to the clinical profile and the confinement due to the pandemic. She was treated with prednisone, gabapentin, nasal irrigations and olfactory rehabilitation, with mild improvement, which was greater after the second dose of covid-19 vaccine. |
