    AbstractA 27-year-old man underwent the right knee joint operation under general anesthesia with CLM. After the operation, he complained of taste disturbance of the left side of the tongue. We measured electrical taste threshold and the serum level of zinc, copper and iron. The taste threshold was elevated in the two nerve areas of the left side of the tongue (chorda tympani, N. glossopharyngeus) and the serum levels of zinc and iron were low. We concluded that he had been short of zinc and iron and the insertion of CLM had triggered taste disturbance.
