简要总结
The goal of this study is to determine whether survivors of Legionnaires' disease suffer smell loss. A quantitative olfactory test will be performed by the participants. Such testing will require approximately 20-30 minutes of the participant's time. The participants will take the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), a scratch-and-sniff test to assess their ability to identify odors in a forced- choice format. Volunteers will also complete a questionnaire asking personal history, demographic questions, and medical history.

结局指标
主要结局
Score on the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test
时间窗: 20-30 Minutes
The number of correct odor identification responses out of 40 from the standardized University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test. The total number of correct responses will then be compared to standard norms of correct responses based on demographic information such as age and sex. Comparing the scores to the standard norms collected will indicate whether a volunteer is normosmic, hyposmic, or anosmic.
