In addition to demographic data such as the age and gender of the patients, general data including the concomitant systemic diseases, previous otolaryngologic diseases (perennial/allergic rhinitis, nasal septal deviation, chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, hearing loss, tinnitus, vestibular disorders), the use of medications, and the length of hospital stay were also recorded. When evaluated according to the clinical severity of COVID-19 infection, there was no statistically significant difference between other findings except nausea/ vomiting, cough and dyspnea which were higher in the moderate group. This present study, it was found that PCR positive COVID 19 patients had different otolaryngological symptoms, especially loss of smell and taste. In our study, the most common otolaryngologic symptoms were the loss of smell and taste, which is important in terms of supporting the literature data on COVID-19.	./cache/cord-342246-tnjtd9n3.txt	./txt/cord-342246-tnjtd9n3.txt
