Abstract

Introduction: The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ranges from mild flu to respiratory distress and death. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered as one of the risk factors for infection susceptibility and disease severity. This case series reports the clinical features, ancillary test findings, and mortality in patients with severe COVID-19 and DM.Case Illustration: This study reports three female patients, aged 50-68 years old, with severe COVID-19 and DM whom were hospitalized in intensive care unit from April to July 2020. Two patients presented with hyperglycemia upon admission. During hospitalization, two patients tended to be hyperglycemic, while the other one had more episodes of hypoglycemia. Two patients suffered from hospital-associated pneumonia and acute kidney injury throughout hospital stay. One patient passed away.Discussion: All patients had fluctuating general condition and unstable blood glucose levels during hospitalization. One patient passed away due to respiratory distress, while the other two were discharged after their general condition improved. Hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic states in DM patients are proposed to play a role in the severity of COVID-19 infection.Conclusion: DM may aggravate COVID-19 infection. Initial normal blood glucose levels upon admission does not guarantee good prognosis; therefore, blood glucose control in COVID-19 patients remains extremely crucial.

Abstract

Background: Bedridden patients were highly susceptible to oral complications due to prolonged immobilization, impaired oromotor function, and limited capacity for self-care. The accumulation of debris and reduced salivary flow can become pathological, leading to infection in the oral cavity. This case report aims to describe two cases of medico-compromised bedridden inpatient highlighting the importance of optimizing oral health care. Case Report: Two bedridden inpatients were reffered to Oral Medicine Division, Universitas Indonesia hospital from internist. First case, was a 59-year-old female inpatient with stage IV breast carcinoma and bone metastasis. The second case, was a 68-year-old male inpatient with acute encephalopathy and multiple comorbidities. Both patients shows decreased consciousness, severe oral dryness with high Clinical Oral Dryness Scores (CODS), poor oral hygiene with a abundant plaque and debris, inflamed periodontal tissue and lip lesion. Oral health care maintenance by cleaning and wipping teeth and oral mucosa using sterile gauze moistened in 0.9% NaCl was done and demonstrated to caregiver to be done daily. Petroleum Jelly was perscribe for  the lips lesions. Both patients showed improved mucosal hydration, debris reduction, and greater comfort.  Discussion: Oral cavity infection is one of the factors that plays an important role in accomplishing the successful overall treatment while bedridden patients had increased risks of oral infection due to limited abilities. Cleaning and wipping with 0,9% NaCl was a safe choice for patient with high risk of aspiration, had a mild antiseptic properties and maintain mucosal hydration. Conclusion: Optimization of oral care in bedridden patients begin with the selection of oral health care maintenance methods by considering the patient's systemic condition.
