Is anosmia the price to pay in an immune-induced scorched-earth policy against COVID-19?

Medical hypotheses - 1 Oct 2020

Le Bon S D, Horoi M

Abstract excerpt

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), loss of smell has increasingly been reported as a frequent clinical sign. Understanding the underlying mechanism and the prognostic value of this symptom will help better manage patients. SARS-CoV-2, as SARS-CoV-1, may likely spread to the central nervous system (CNS) via the olfactory nerve, a known gateway for respiratory neurotropic viruses. We...
