Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, poses a significant threat to public health worldwide, and diabetes is considered a risk factor for the rapid progression and poor prognosis of COVID-19. Limited immune function is a clinical feature of COVID-19 patients, and diabetes patients have defects in innate and adaptive immune functions, which may be an important reason for the rapid progression and poor prognosis of COVID-19 in patients with diabetes. We review the possible multiple effects of immune impairment in diabetic patients on the immune responses to COVID-19 to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic patients with COVID-19.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2引起,对全球公众健康构成重大威胁,糖尿病被认为是COVID-19快速进展和预后不良的一个危险因素。免疫功能受限是COVID-19患者的临床特征之一,而糖尿病患者存在先天性和适应性免疫功能缺陷,这可能是糖尿病患者COVID-19快速进展和预后不良的重要原因。我们综述了糖尿病患者免疫损伤对COVID-19免疫反应可能产生的多种影响,为COVID-19糖尿病患者的诊断和治疗提供指导。
