1 | Introduction
Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) appears to have a high risk of
occurrence in people with diabetes and an increased risk of mortality
among individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes in comparison to
individuals without this disease [1, 2], especially in cases of
uncontrolled diabetes [3]. However, it is reported in the literature
that diabetes might be a long-term consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection
[4-7]. Moreover, the spectrum of endocrine presentations in
COVID-19 is still incomplete since there are atypical manifestations
[8]. The lack of experience with COVID-19 has resulted in
uncertainty in managing these complications. Uncommon manifestations of
COVID-19 have a great risk of going undiagnosed for longer time. Here,
we describe a case of diabetes mellitus, which occurred in a 45-year-old
woman, healthcare worker (HCW), as a possible late-onset sequel of
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) infection,
discovered during a consultation in the occupational medicine
department.
