Parosmia [pahr-OZE-mee-ah] is a change in the normal perception of odours, such as when the smell of something familiar is distorted, or when something that normally smells pleasant now smells foul.
Anosmia refers to a total loss of sense of smell. Anosmia and parosmia are both common symptoms of COVID-19, along with dysgeusia (a distorted sense of taste) and ageusia (a total loss of sense of taste).
