The PM-carbinol olfaction test (PM-test) was performed on Japanese adults with olfactory disturbance or normal olfaction. The threshold level of the PM-test was compared with results reported in the United States and with results obtained from T & T olfactometry. The results are as follows: 1) The mean of the PM carbinol threshold for twenty adults with normal olfaction was 8.5 dS. This was higher than that of the United States. 2) In the twenty patients who revealed mild or moderate hyposmia, the PM-thresholds correlated with that of T & T olfactometry. 3) In the ten patients who suffered from severe hyposmia or anosmia, the PM-carbinol thresholds were off the scale.
