Brief summary
Antibiotic use may be associated with effects on the perception of smell and taste. These effects are poorly known. The mechanisms can be very diverse, and the effect can be very variable depending on the type of antibiotic used, the dose, and the duration. The aim of this study is to analyze the perception of the taste and olfactory capacities of patients, during an antibiotic treatment.
Interventions
