Abstract
Introduction: Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor to predict severity in COVID-19 infection.Clinical cases: we present four cases of hyperglycemic seizures type hyperosmolar nonketotic state (EHNC) and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) associated with COVID-19, three with a history of DM and one with a new diagnosis of DM. The outcome was fatal for the CAD cases and the EHNC case was discharged in stable condition.Conclusion: it is essential to understand the presentation characteristics of acute complications of diabetes in patients with COVID-19 and to suspect this type of metabolic alterations in SARS-CoV-2 infection, important aspects for a timely diagnosis and treatment, greatly improving the prognosis of patients
