The current case is a 102-year-old female centenarian with slight bronchopneumonia. She did not have any remarkable health or medical problems until 2022. In May 2023, she developed a cough and fever and underwent a lung CT scan, which revealed a consolidation shadow in the left posterior middle lung. This image was created with a 1mm width for each 1mm interval. Additionally, a further image was generated using maximum intensity projection (MIP) with a 3mm width for a slab thickness of 20mm. Based on this data, a diagnosis of slight bronchopneumonia in the left lung was made. She was treated with levofloxacin 500mg/day for 5 days, which led to clinical improvement.

The case involves a 70-year-old female with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) who had been prescribed EquMet (vildagliptin/metformin) and had a stable HbA1c. In August 2022, she tested positive for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) without showing any symptoms. By November 2022, her HbA1c had increased to 7.4%, and a chest CT scan revealed a consolidation lesion in her left lower lung, suggesting post-inflammatory pathology of COVID-19. Imeglimin (Twemeeg) was added to her treatment regimen, and it proved effective, resulting in a 0.9% reduction in HbA1c over 4 months without any gastrointestinal adverse effects (GIAEs). The combined treatment of EquMet and Twymeeg was effective, and the interrelationship between T2D and COVID-19 will be followed up.
