Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has almost collapsed most of the health systems of communities around the world. The rapid increase in the number of cases has brought this virus to the top of the agenda, and many issues such as the mode of transmission of the virus, how long it remains alive, how it should be protected have been the most researched topics in the last year. It is observed that mortality is high especially in patients with chronic diseases and elderly patients. In also diabetes mellitus, one of the chronic diseases, the risk of morbidity and mortality is high due to COVID-19. Our case report states that there are impairments in blood glucose regulation in the follow-up of patients with diabetes mellitus hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection and that they should be dealt with, and the course of COVID-19 infection with poor prognosis.

Diabetes Mellitus ve COVID-19 Salgını Hakkında Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Koronavirüs hastalığı 2019 (coronavirüs disease 2019, COVID-19) salgını, dünyanın dört bir yanında, toplumlarda sağlık sistemini nerdeyse çökertmiştir. Vaka sayısının çok hızlı bir şekilde artışı bu virüsü gündemin en üstüne taşımış ve virüsün bulaş şekli, ne kadar süre canlı kaldığı, nasıl korunulması gerektiği gibi birçok konu son bir yılın en çok araştırılan konuları olmuştur. Özellikle kronik hastalıkları olan ve ileri yaştaki hastalarda mortalitenin yüksek olduğu gözlenmektedir. Kronik hastalıklardan biri olan diyabetes mellitusta da COVID-19 nedeni ile morbidite ve mortalite riski yüksektir. Olgu sunumumuz, COVID-19 enfeksiyonu nedeni ile hastaneye yatırılan diyabetes mellitus tanılı hastaların takiplerinde kan şekeri regülasyonunda bozulmalar olduğunu ve bunlarla baş edilmesi gerektiğini ve COVID-19 enfeksiyonunun kötü prognozla gidişatını göstermektedir.
