Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Aim: To review the publications subject to the problem of COVID-19 associated anosmia incidence in pediatric patients as well as its pathogenesis, diagnostics, treatment and recovery. The peculiarity of pediatric COVID-19 anosmia is due to children accounting for very low percentage of COVID-19 patients (comparing to one in adults), mostly with milder course of the disease. Awareness of anosmia and its proper diagnostics is crucial in children and adolescents, considering it can be the only manifestation in COVID-19 positive pediatric patients.
METHODS: Materials and Methods: In order to achieve this goal a meta-analysis of information from databases followed by statistical processing and generalisation of the obtained data was carried out.
CONCLUSIONS: Conclusions: Publications on COVID-19 anosmia in children and adolescents are less numerous than those concerning adult patients, so it is important to use every single trustworthy one. Anosmia/ageusia may be the only symptom, early identifier and the strongest predictor of COVID-19 infection in pediatric patients. Prospects for further scientific researches. Further researches regarding differential diagnostics of COVID-19 and other infections, including seasonal influenza, manifesting with both olfactory and taste dysfunction as well as anosmia diagnostics in children and adolescents with autistic spectrum and different types of mental disorders are possible.

摘要：
目的：目的：回顾有关儿童患者COVID-19相关失语症发生率及其发病机制问题的出版物，诊断,治疗和恢复。小儿COVID-19失语症的特殊性是由于儿童占COVID-19患者的比例非常低（与成人相比），主要是病情较轻。对失语症及其正确诊断的认识在儿童和青少年中至关重要，考虑到它可能是COVID-19阳性儿科患者的唯一表现。
方法：材料和方法：为了实现这一目标，对来自数据库的信息进行荟萃分析，然后对获得的数据进行统计处理和概括。
结论：结论：关于儿童和青少年COVID-19失语症的出版物数量少于成人患者，所以重要的是要使用每一个值得信赖的。食欲不振可能是唯一的症状，儿科患者COVID-19感染的早期识别和最强预测因子。进一步科学研究的前景。关于COVID-19和其他感染的鉴别诊断的进一步研究，包括季节性流感,在自闭症谱系和不同类型的精神障碍的儿童和青少年中，可能同时表现为嗅觉和味觉功能障碍以及嗅觉缺失诊断。
