Chemosensory disfunctions have been increasingly reported in patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here, we document a case of a patient with taste and smell alterations as the only clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In March 2020, a 36-year old female presented with self-reported hypo/ageusia and hypo/anosmia in the absence of any respiratory symptom. The patient, who had no clinical and radiographic signs of sinusitis and was otherwise healthy, eventually tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. She did not develop any COVID-19-related symptom throughout the 6-month follow up. Her self-reported chemosensory discfunction lasted for 12 weeks. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first report that accurately documented taste and smell alteration as the sole manifestation of COVID-19 in an otherwise healthy individual. Overall, analysis of current evidence supports the inclusion of gustatory and olfactory alterations as cardinal symptoms of COVID-19. Dentists’ awareness of the diagnostic criteria for case definition of COVID-19 can facilitate an early detection of the disease.
