Existen pocos reportes sobre coma
mixedematoso asociado a COVID-19.
El estado proinflamatorio secundario
a obesidad, el daño directo a la
glándula tiroidea por SARS-CoV-2 y
la elevación de mediadores
inflamatorios en sangre observados
durante la infección viral podrían ser
mecanismos que desencadenan el
coma mixedematoso. En pacientes
con COVID-19 severo es importante

La coexistencia de CM y neumonía
por COVID-19 en el paciente con
hipotiroidismo no tratado puede
aumentar el riesgo de muerte a pesar
del diagnóstico temprano y
tratamiento vigoroso de ambas
patologías. Es importante reconocer
clínicamente al paciente con
hipotiroidismo no tratado en tiempos
de pandemia COVID-19, ya que la
infección por SARS-CoV-2 en
pacientes con hipotiroidismo severo

infection complicated by sudden
cardiac ar• rest. We discuss how
SARS•CoV•2 may have precipitated
multiorgan damage and SCA in our
patient. Further studies are needed to
elucidate the direct effects of SARS•
CoV•2 infection on heart and thyroid
tissues. We suggest prompt treatment
of MC with conservative doses of IV
levothyroxine for patients with
preexisting cardiovascular disease or
in acute illnesses known to cause
cardiac damage such as COVID•19.
Myxedema coma occurs when a
precipitating factor disrupts thyroid
hormone regulation, and it bears a
grim prognosis. Among patients with
COVID and even those who have
recovered, an increased suspicion of
hypothyroidism is necessary to
diagnose the condition at a stage that
is early enough to avoid myxedema
coma. In areas where parenteral
levothyroxine is not available, this
case shows that administration of
combination oral levothyroxine and
liothyronine for myxedema may be
successful.

Although myxedema coma is now a
rare occurrence given the widespread
availability of TSH assay and frequent
monitoring by primary care
physicians, it is a life-threatening
event and emergency treatment is
warranted. As one of the causes of
myxedema coma is infectious disease
