嗅覺減退
嗅覺減退[1]是指嗅覺遲鈍，鼻子分辨氣味的能力下降。如果鼻子完全無法分辨出氣味，則是嗅覺喪失。2012年，美國境內估計有980萬40歲及以上的人患有嗅覺減退症，另有340萬人嗅覺喪失或者嗅覺接近完全喪失。 [2]
嗅覺減退可能是帕金森氏症、阿茲海默症以及路易氏體失智症的早期徵兆。 [3] 終身嗅覺減退可能由卡門氏症候群[4]或自閉症譜系引起。 [5]

Kallmann syndrome (KS), a rare genetic disorder, refers to the association between hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia due to abnormal migration of olfactory axons and gonadotropin-releasing hormone producing neurons.
