Practical test kits for quantitatively evaluating the sense of smell.

A set of polypropylene squeeze-bottles, containing serial dilutions of pyridine in mineral oil, are used to deliver puffs of accurately odorized air to the nose. The patient's olfactory threshold can be quantitatively measured in a few minutes, and placed in the normal, hyposmic or hyperosmic range of sensitivity.

Sumner's "On testing the sense of smell" revisited.

The routine test of olfaction need not lead to an ambiguous outcome, a rather widely held notion. A multiple-choice test of odor identification that avoided the difficulty of retrieving odor names yielded excellent resolution among the categories normosmic, hyposmic, and anosmic. The outcome agreed almost perfectly with a more complicated test of threshold and offered much encouragement for the use of odor identification in rapid screening of olfaction.
