Abstract
The medical literature reveals numerous reports of transient taste disturba nce associated with the use of oral terbinafine. A review of these reports, however, fails to confirm taste disturbances by formal taste testing. In t his article, a case of long-standing taste dysfunction in a patient who exh ibited normal formal taste thresholds is described.
