Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease
characterized by a deficiency in insulin production and its action or both
which leads to prolonged hyperglycaemia with
disturbances in most metabolic processes inside the human body. In the case of infection with the new coronavirus SARS-COV-2 (COVID19)
these patients have a higher risk of having a severe prognosis. Some studies
suggest that diabetes may increase the risk of infection by two to three times,
regardless of the presence of other conditions. The role of ferritin in
correlation with the severity of COVID-19 patients is unknown. Research
hypothesis. The level of blood ferritin. Serum ferritin levels appear to
correlate with the severity of COVID-19 patients, which may make them a
candidate for the role of biomarker. In this paper I want to show whether
ferritin can be a marker of poor prognosis in patients with type I diabetes
infected with SARS-COV 2 virus.
Key words: Diabetes
mellitus, Insulin, COVID-19, Ferritin.
