Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been recognized as a risk factor for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, and COVID-19 in diabetic patients is associated with a poor prognosis. New evidence suggests that patients with T2DM may experience diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) if infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, there is limited literature on new-onset diabetes in patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 without a history of diabetes. We present a case series of three patients who developed new-onset diabetes while suffering from acute COVID-19 infection; they presented with DKA even though they had no prior history or risk factors for diabetes. They remain persistently insulin-dependent several months post-recovery.
2型糖尿病(T2DM)已被公认为是2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)严重感染的一个风险因素,糖尿病患者感染COVID-19后预后较差。新证据表明,2型糖尿病患者如果感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2),可能会出现糖尿病酮症酸中毒(DKA)或高血糖高渗状态(HHS)。然而,关于无糖尿病病史的SARS-CoV-2感染患者新发糖尿病的文献有限。我们报告了一个病例系列,三名患者在患急性COVID-19感染时出现新发糖尿病;尽管他们既往无糖尿病病史或风险因素,但均表现为DKA。康复后数月,他们仍持续依赖胰岛素治疗。
