Historically, disorders of taste and smell have been difficult to diagnose and treat, often because of a lack of knowledge and understanding of these senses and their disease states. An alteration in taste or smell may be a secondary process in various disease states, or it may be the primary symptom. It is also known that chemosensory dysfunction deteriorates with age starting in the fifth decade of life. Loss of smell and/or taste has been linked to inadequate nutritional intake, reduced social pleasure, and decreased psychological well-being. It may even be life threatening, impairing the detection of smoke in a fire or the ability to identify spoiled food. Because approximately 80% of taste disorders are truly smell disorders, an attempt has been made in this Booklet to present an overview for this disorder with an additional discussion of taste and related disorders in the form of F.A.Q. along with relevant ILLUSTRATIONS for better understanding of the Topic. …Dr. H.
