    Abstract

    We carefully read the letter of Locatello et Oreste regarding our paper entitled "Prevalence and 6-month recovery of olfactory dysfunction: a multicentre study of 1363 COVID-19 patients."1 The authors2 highlighted an important unresolved issue: the pathophysiological mechanisms and the management of patients with long-term anosmia. As stated by authors, the development of anosmia is related to the infection of the sustentacular and basal cells, which highly express ACE-2.
