The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on pre-existing retinal pathology is currently unknown.
We present a unique case of rapidly progressing diabetic retinopathy (DR) following severe COVID-19 infection requiring supplemental oxygen and subsequent long-COVID.
Following infection with SARS-CoV-2, the associated acute and possible long-term hypoxia has the potential to affect the retina and accelerate the natural course of diabetic retinopathy.
目前尚不清楚严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染对既往存在的视网膜病变的影响。
我们报告了1例独特的病例,该患者在严重新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)感染后出现快速进展的糖尿病视网膜病变(DR),需要补充氧气,随后出现长期新冠症状。
感染SARS-CoV-2后,相关的急性和可能的长期缺氧有可能影响视网膜并加速糖尿病视网膜病变的自然病程。
