MANAGEMENTUL ANOSMIEI POST-COVID-19: ABORDĂRI TERAPEUTICE ŞI REZULTATE CLINICE = POST-COVID-19 ANOSMIA MANAGEMENT: THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES.

Abstract: Introducere. Anosmia a fost identificată ca un simptom major în infecţia cu SARS-CoV-2. În multe cazuri, aceasta se prezenta chiar înainte de simptomele respiratorii. Deşi pentru majoritatea pacienţilor, anosmia dispare în câteva săptămâni după reconvalescenta, un număr semnificativ suferă de anosmie persistenta. Scop. Anosmia post-COVID, a devenit o problemă de sănătate publică. Aici abordam mecanismele anomaliilor olfactive post-COVID, abordările terapeutice curente şi rezultatele clinice ale acestora. Material şi metode. Au fost extrase, analizate si sistematizate publicaţii relevante din bazele de date precum: PubMed si EMBASE. Toate sursele utilizate in acest articol sunt cu o vechime de până la 5 ani. S-au analizat mecanismele anosmiei post-COVID-19, abordările terapeutice, rezultate clinice, studii de caz cât si provocări şi direcţii viitoare. Rezultate. Studiile clinice recente oferă o imagine clară a eficienţei diverselor tratamente pentru anosmia post-COVID-19. Conform unui studiu publicat în The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 10% dintre pacienţii cu anosmie post-COVID au continuat să aibă simptome persistente la 6 luni după recuperare, iar 5% dintre aceştia nu şi-au recuperat simţul olfactiv nici la un an după infecţie. Un alt studiu important realizat la Spitalul Universitar din Zurich a arătat că 40% dintre pacienţii care au urmat olfactoterapia au avut o îmbunătăţire semnificativă a simţului olfactiv la 3 luni de la iniţierea tratamentului, demonstrând importanta tratamentului timpuriu. Concluzii. Anosmia post-COVID-19 rămâne o provocare majoră pentru pacienţi şi medici. Deşi există tratamente promiţătoare, eficienţa acestora variază semnificativ de la un pacient la altul. În continuare, sunt necesare mai multe cercetări pentru a înţelege mai bine mecanismele acestei afecţiuni.
Introduction. Anosmia has been recognized as a key symptom in SARS-CoV-2 infection. it often appears even before any respiratory symptoms emerge. While most patients regain their sense of smell within a few weeks following recovery, a considerable number continue to experience persistent anosmia for a prolonged period. Objective. Post-COVID anosmia has become a public health problem. Here we address the mechanisms of post-COVID olfactory abnormalities, current therapeutic approaches and their clinical outcomes. Material and methods. Relevant publications were extracted, analyzed and systematized from databases such as: PubMed and EMBASE. All sources used in this article are up to about 5 years old. The mechanisms of post-COVID-19 anosmia, therapeutic approaches, clinical outcomes, case studies, as well as challenges and future directions were reviewed. Results. Recent clinical studies provide a clear picture of the effectiveness of various treatments for post-COVID-19 anosmia. According to a study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 10% of patients with post-COVID anosmia continued to have persistent symptoms 6 months after recovery, and 5% of them had not recovered their sense of smell even one year after infection. Another major study conducted at the University Hospital of Zurich showed that 40% of patients who underwent olfactory therapy had a significant improvement in their sense of smell 3 months after initiating treatment, demonstrating the importance of early treatment. Conclusion. Post-COVID-19 anosmia remains a major challenge for patients as well as physicians. Although promising treatments exist, their effectiveness varies significantly from one patient to another. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms of this condition.
