Abstract

Pneumonia SARS Cov2 in patients with type 2 diabetes has a difficult evolution with serious complications. The purpose of the learning was to study the clinical and paraclinical aspects of SARS CoV2 pneumonia in patients with type II diabetes. A retrospective study was carried out, which included 47 observation sheets of patients with SARS CoV2 viral pneumonia treated in the pneumology department of MCH “Sf. Arhangel Mihail”. Patients were divided into two groups: in group 1-34 patients with SARS CoV2 pneumonia and type II diabetes and group 2 - 13 patients with SARS CoV2 viral pneumonia without diabetes. According to the obtained results, dyspnea was found in all patients included in the study, and cough was present in a higher number of patients in group I (85,29% vs 76,9%). Conclusions: Pneumonia SARS CoV2 in patients with type II diabetes has a more difficult evolution (long-term fever, later and less obvious resorption of pulmonary infiltrate, longer duration of hospitalization) than in patients without diabetes.
