Abstract
Goal. To present a clinical and statistical analysis of the somatic status and ophthalmological manifestations of the new coronavirus infection in patients treated in a round-the-clock ophthalmological hospital. Materials and methods. The clinical, laboratory and instrumental data of 12 patients with a new coronavirus infection treated in the ophthalmology department of the adult hospital of the Regional Clinical Hospital No. 2 from February 2020 to May 2021 were analyzed. Results. The structure of nosologies is represented by the following diseases: corneal ulcer – 33.3% (4/12), of which men – 25% (3/12), women – 8.3% (1/12); phlegmon of the orbit – 8.3% (1/12); combined corneal and vascular lesions (keratouveitis) – 16.6% (2/12); nerve tissue damage (optic neuritis, neuroretinovasculitis) – 16.6% (2/12); vascular lesions are represented by chronic iridocyclitis OD in the acute stage and panuveitis of fungal etiology – 16.6% (2/12); the lesion of the central retinal vein (CVC) is represented by partial thrombosis of its upper-temporal branch – 8.3% (1/12). The development of the disease is associated with the presence of systemic atherosclerosis and hypertension, or trauma to the visual organ. Conclusions. Ophthalmic masks of a new coronavirus infection are more common in men. The trigger factors include systemic atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, or trauma to the eyeball, blood pathology, chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, diabetes mellitus.
