In Reply: Challenges in interpreting the diagnostic performance of symptoms to predict COVID‐19 status: the case of anosmia 2020-06-25 .txt text/plain 797 65 50 The research done to date regarding olfactory dysfunction as a disease predictor was performed during the outbreak and ongoing evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. 1,2 Early work was valuable in drawing attention to the common symptoms of COVID-19 presentation in the setting of limited testing access and enhancing advocacy for adequate personal protective equipment. For example, rapid antigen detection for influenza testing has also been shown to be limited by the timing of testing in relation to symptoms. 2. While the authors focus on the single symptom of anosmia for predicting COVID-19, several of the included studies evaluated multiple symptoms as predictors. 3. As we move into influenza season, more work can be done to improve our understanding of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 as compared to other viral infections. Again, we thank the authors for their comments and caution regarding interpretation of the COVID-19 literature on anosmia based on disease prevalence with respect to time and location. ./cache/cord-327600-xa6uibi8.txt ./txt/cord-327600-xa6uibi8.txt
