Abstract:

The presented systematic review contains basic information about the frequency, characteristic features of the course and pathogenesis of olfactory, gustatory and auditory disorders that occur with COVID-19, with which an otorhinolaryngologist meets in his practice. These disorders are often the first, and sometimes the only, manifestations of the underlying disease, which determines their role in early diagnosis and timely detection of the underlying disease. The article includes original articles, clinical case reports and literary reviews.

Keywords:
