Popis: BACKGROUND. Glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) were detected both in acute and in post-COVID, however, its pathogenic aspects remain unclear.AIM. To analyze the occurrence of GMD in post-COVID patients who have had moderate and severe COVID-19 without previously known GMD disorders, and evaluate expression of SARS-CoV-2 proteins and its entry factors in pancreas in acute COVID-19.METHODS. Among 187 hospitalized patients with confirmed COVID-19 141 patients without previously diagnosed GMD underwent follow-up post-COVID visits. The examination for all patients included anthropometric measurement with calculation of BMI, level of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose, for 106 patients level of insulin and HOMA-IR index was analyzed. For histological examination, pancreas fragments of 20 patients with fatal outcome were selected. Immunohistochemical study was performed with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, ACE2, DPP4, as well as double-labeled immunofluorescence microscopy (insulin-SARS-CoV-2, insulin-ACE2, insulin-DPP4).RESULTS. Among 141 patients in post-COVID period, 9 (6.3%) had HbA1c or fasting plasma glucose levels that met criteria for diabetes mellitus, 38 (26.9%) — exceeded normal values (WHO), and 84 (59.6%) had GMD according to criteria of the ADA. In post-COVID, patients with GMD had a higher BMI and HOMA-IR index (p=0.001) compared to patients with normal glycemic levels. Only 40.4% of people had HOMA-IR index above 2.7. Patients with GMD had higher level of CRP (p=0.007) and a maximum glucose level (p=0.019) in the acute period. Positive relationship was found between BMI and HOMA index both in acute (p
