Introducción: en diciembre de 2019 se inició una epidemia por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, causante de un síndrome de dificultad respiratoria que, posteriormente, se denomina enfermedad COVID-19 y que es probable afecta menos a los niños que a los adultos. En Cuba existen aproximadamente 15,246 contagiados menores de 19 años. La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) asociada al Covid-19 puede representar peligro para la vida del paciente.
Objetivo: determinar algunas características de la COVID-19 en la población pediátrica estudiada con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 durante el primer año de inicio de la pandemia en Cuba.
Método: se seleccionaron al azar los servicios de endocrinología pediátrica de las provincias: Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Pinar del Río y en La Habana (Hospitales Pediátricos Cerro y Centro Habana). Se solicitó cuántos pacientes durante el primer año de la pandemia (marzo 2020-marzo 2021) debutaron con DM1, cuántos en cetosis/cetoacidosis. Estos datos se compararon con el año 2019. Se investigó cuantos niños DM1 ingresaron con Covid 19.
Resultados: existió incremento (57.3 %) de los pacientes con debut de DM1 durante el primer año de la pandemia en comparación con 2019. La presencia de cetosis/cetoacidosis aumentó (58.2 %). Se detectó cuatro pacientes con Covid 19 y DM1, (frecuencia baja: 0, 53 %).
Conclusiones: el incremento de la DM1 y de cetosis/cetoacidosis pudiera estar relacionado indirectamente con la pandemia por Covid 19, ya sea por stress, confinamiento, alimentación inadecuada o la combinación de estos factores, es prudente tener un seguimiento a mediano y largo plazo de estos pacientes.
Introduction: On December 2019, an epidemic due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus began, causing a respiratory distress syndrome, later it is called the COVID-19 disease, it probably affects children less than adults. In Cuba, there are approximately 15,246 infected persons under 19 years of age. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) associated with Covid-19 can be life-threatening. Objective: To determine some characteristics of COVID-19 in the pediatric population studied with type 1 diabetes mellitus during the first year of the onset of the pandemic in Cuba. Method: The pediatric endocrinology services of the provinces: Ciego de Ávila, Villa Clara, Pinar del Río and Havana (Hospital Pediátricos Cerro and Centro Habana) were randomly selected. It was requested how many patients during the first year of the pandemic (March 2020-March 2021) debuted with DM1, how many in ketosis / ketoacidosis. These data were compared with 2019. It was investigated how many T1D children were admitted with Covid 19. Results: There was an increase (57.3%) in patients with T1D debut during the first year of the pandemic compared to 2019. The presence of ketosis / ketoacidosis increased (58.2 %). 4 patients with Covid 19 and DM1 were detected (low frequency: 0.53%). Conclusions: The increase in DM1 and ketosis/ketoacidosis could be indirectly related to the Covid 19 pandemic, whether due to stress, confinement, inadequate nutrition or a combination of these factors, it is prudent to have a medium and long-term follow-up of these patients.
