Вирус SARS-CoV-2, вызвавший пандемию новой коронавирусной инфекции 2019 г. (COVID-19), поставил систему здравоохранения и научное сообщество во всем мире перед беспрецедентной проблемой. На момент написания данного литературного обзора инфекция унесла более 6 млн жизней, а переболевших SARS-CoV-2 уже более 500 млн человек по всему миру. Помимо основных, легочных, проявлений заболевания, а также тяжелых, жизнеугрожающих осложнений острого периода заболевания COVID-19, долгосрочные изменения, возникающие в постковидном периоде, затрагивают и другие системы: эндокринную, сердечно-сосудистую, нервную и опорно-двигательную. В литературном обзоре с использованием данных из современных научных публикаций, полученных по поисковым запросам «covid-19 endocrine disorders», «postcovid endocrine disorders» и «postcovid syndrome endocrine disorders» в базах данных MEDLINE (PubMed) и «эндокринная патология и covid-19», «постковид и эндокринная патология» и «постковидный синдром и эндокринные нарушения» в базе e-Library, мы сконцентрировались на описании и обсуждении осложнений и последствий, которые инфекция SARS-CoV-2 может оказывать на железы внутренней секреции, включая надпочечники, щитовидную железу, гипофиз, гонады и поджелудочную железу.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the 2019 new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge to the global health system and scientific community. As of this literature review, the infection has claimed more than 6 million lives, and more than 500 million people worldwide have already been infected with SARS-CoV-2. In addition to the basic, pulmonary manifestations of the disease, as well as the severe, life-threatening complications of acute COVID-19, the long-term changes that occur in the postcovid period also affect other systems: endocrine, cardiovascular, nervous, and musculoskeletal. In this literature review, using data from current scientific publications obtained by searching «covid-19 endocrine disorders», «postcovid endocrine disorders» and «postcovid syndrome endocrine disorders» in the MEDLINE (PubMed) database and «endocrine pathology and covid-19», «postcovid and endocrine pathology» and «postcovid syndrome and endocrine disorders» in the e-Library database, we focused on describing and discussing the complications and consequences that SARS-CoV-2 infection can have on the endocrine glands, including the adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, gonads and pancreas.
