Olfactory and taste dysfunction (OD, TD) have been considered symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, its presence in certain populations, especially those with mild clinical symptoms, has not been clarified. The objective was to estimate the frequency of OD and TD, and its predictive validity in patients detected in Primary Care. ⋯ More than half of the subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection have OD or TD. The presence of OD or TD could be of diagnostic utility due to its ability to predict infection in more than half of the cases.

To analyze the prevalence of May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) among patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of left lower limb (LLL), and outcomes after long-term follow-up. ⋯ May-Thurner syndrome constitutes a permanent and underdiagnosed risk factor for the development of DVT of LLL. Our findings suggest that long-term anticoagulation therapy might be considered in selected cases.
