| Poster #Olfactory Dysfunctio Inflammation and Olfaction: What’s the link? |
| Justin Turner University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, United States |
Inflammation can have both short- and long-term impacts on olfactory function in humans. Here we will review current scientific and clinical evidence related to the role of inflammation in olfaction, including potential mechanisms through which specific inflammatory mediators can have lasting effects on the olfactory epithelium. Current understanding of inflammatory disease processes that affect olfaction will be reviewed along with associated therapeutic approaches that can directly or indirectly improve olfactory function. |
