AI Article Synopsis
- Two 8-year-old girls were hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and were later found to have COVID-19, highlighting a potential link between the virus and diabetic complications.
- One of the patients also showed signs of pneumonia, which complicates the treatment of her condition.
- The study aims to address the challenges in managing DKA cases complicated by COVID-19 and suggests that the virus could contribute to the onset of diabetes in genetically predisposed individuals.
Article Abstract
Two 8-year-old girls were admitted to the emergency department with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) approximately 10 days apart. The patients with resistant severe acidosis and high infection parameters were diagnosed with COVID-19 by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test. Accompanying pneumonia was observed in one of the patients. Here, we aimed to discuss the difficulties in the management of patients with a new diagnosis of DKA with COVID-19 infection. In addition, we wanted to emphasize that COVID-19 infection may be effective in the development of diabetes in patients with a genetic predisposition.
