Abstract

2019 yılının son günlerinde, Çin’in Hubei eyaletinden etiyolojisi bilinmeyen ardışık pnömoni vakaları bildirilmeye başlanmış ve daha sonra SARS-CoV2 olarak adlandırılacak olan bu yeni tip Coronavirüs kısa sürede tüm dünyaya hızla yayılarak bir pandemiye dönüşmüştür. Bu süreçte tedavide birçok yeni molekül ile birlikte steroidlerin de kullanım sıklığı artmıştır. Steroidlerin pek çok yan etkisi bulunmaktadır ve femur başı avasküler nekrozu steroidlerin uzun süreli kullanımı sonucu görebildiğimiz önemli yan etkilerinden biridir. Bu yazıda COVID-19 pnömonisi nedeniyle yoğun bakım ünitesi ve ardından serviste izlenen bir hastada kısa süreli steroid kullanımı sonucu gelişen bilateral femur başı avasküler nekrozu olgusu sunulmuştur.

A Rare Side Effect of COVID-19 Treatment: Avascular Femoral Necrosis

Abstract

In the last days of 2019, consecutive pneumonia cases of unknown etiology started to be reported from China's Hubei province, this new type of Coronavirus, which would be named as SARS-CoV2 quickly spread all over the world and turned into a pandemic. During the pandemic, the frequency of use of steroids has increased along with many new molecules in treatment. Steroids have many side effects and, avascular femoral necrosis is one of the important side effects that we can see as a result of long-term use of steroids. In this article, a case of a patient who developed bilateral avascular femoral necrosis as a result of short-term steroid use for COVID-19 pneumonia was presented.

Keywords
