SARS-CoV-2 Enfeksiyonu Esnasında Gelişen Ter Kokusu Değişimi: Vaka Sunumu

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2’nin neden olduğu COVID-19’da değişim ve/veya harabiyet tablolarına her geçen gün yenileri eklenmektedir. Birçok hücreyi enfekte edebilen bu virüsün ter bezi Krt7+ salgı lümen hücrelerini de kolayca enfekte edebildiği gösterilmiştir. Uçucu organik bileşikler ise birçok hastalık için biyomarker olup çeşitli hastalık ve sendromlarla ilişkilendirilmiştir. SARS-CoV-2’nin ter salgısını değiştirebileceği ve yarattığı tahribatlarla uçucu organik bileşikler ortaya çıkarabileceği gösterilmiştir. Bu yazımızda SARS-CoV-2 ile enfekte olan hastada, enfeksiyon esnasında gelişen ter kokusu değişimi sunulmuştur.

Change in Odor of Sweat During SARS-CoV-2 Infection: A Case Report

Abstract

New ones are added to the manifestations of change and/or destruction in COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 every day. It has been shown that this virus, which can infect many cells, can also easily infect sweat gland Krt7+ secretory lumen cells. Volatile organic compounds are biomarkers for many diseases and have been associated with various diseases and syndromes. It has been shown that SARS-CoV-2 can change sweat secretion and produce volatile organic compounds with the damage it causes. In this article, the change in odor of sweat that developed during the infection in a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 is presented.

Keywords

• COVID-19
• volatile organic compounds
• sweat
• odor of sweat
