2 | Case presentation
A 45-year-old woman, a HCW in a general surgery department of a university hospital, presented with asthenia and excessive polyuria in the occupational medicine department. She had dyslipidemia and a family history of diabetes in her mother. Nine weeks before this visit, she was diagnosed with COVID-19 by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test on a nasopharyngeal swab specimen. During the SARS-CoV-2 infection, she received zinc therapy, vitamin D3, and ascorbic acid supplement. She did not develop pulmonary complications and was not hospitalized. Physical examination was normal. As additional exams for asthenia and polyuria, initial laboratory tests including blood glucose were performed. Hyperglycemia was found and the patient was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2. She was referred to an endocrinology consultation for therapeutic management. She was treated with oral hypoglycemic agents and her symptoms were relieved without any complications. Biological controls were performed after the treatment of diabetes. Blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels gradually improved (Table 1). Her disease was controlled by medication and education.
