About 20% present with nonspecific symptoms that resemble dengue fever, including fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, and maculopapular rash. Rare infections cause the Guillain-Barre syndrome. [neuropathology-web.org]
Other causes of anosmia may include problems with the inner lining of the nose (colds, hay fever, influenza, non-allergic rhinitis), obstructions of the nasal passages (bone deformity, tumours, nasal polyps), and damage to the brain or nerves (rhinoplasty [humanitas.net]
Causes of lost or changed sense of smell Changes in sense of smell are most often caused by: a cold or flu sinusitis (sinus infection) an allergy, like hay fever growths in your nose (nasal polyps) These can cause: loss of smell (anosmia) smelling things [nhs.uk]
[…] include: a viral infection affecting the upper respiratory tract, such as a cold persistent (chronic) sinusitis, with or without nasal polyps a nose abnormality, such as a crooked nose or a nasal septum (wall dividing the nostrils) that isn't straight hay fever [nhsdirect.wales.nhs.uk]

And while a decrease in appetite is often reported in individuals with hyposmia, the lack of a noticeable effect in eating behaviors in individuals with ICA may be the result of being socialized without a sense of smell. [blogs.scientificamerican.com]

Woollam said her parosmia threw her into a "suicidal depression" last year. [motherboard.vice.com]
This tends to be more common in females over the age of 50 and often results in partial rather than total smell loss, however, like patients with anosmia after head injury, they often suffer from parosmia – a distorted sense of smell that often renders [fifthsense.org.uk]
[…] detect air-borne chemicals, and an adenovirus was used to implant a working version of the IFT88 gene into defective cells in the nose, which restored the cilia and allowed a sense of smell. [35] [36] See also [ edit ] Phantosmia Hyperosmia Hyposmia Parosmia [en.wikipedia.org]

An understanding of the mechanism of the decrease in smell could help to further elucidate the pathophysiology of these disorders or uncover new treatments. [30, 31] Gustatory dysfunction Much of what is perceived as a taste defect is truly a primary [emedicine.medscape.com]

In cases such as this (which are extremely rare), it is thought that there are genetic or developmental errors that prevent the olfactory system from forming properly. [oebsciencecafe.org]
J: Not exactly, I got to prove that there is something wrong with your brain… T: ha ha J: The most important thing about anosmia is awareness: Now that you're aware what's wrong, you can take steps to prevent dangerous situations, like having someone [brainfacts.org]
The head injury may also involve direct injury to the nose preventing odours travelling to the top of the nose (see How Smell Works for more information on the layout of our olfactory system). [fifthsense.org.uk]
