● Post Mortem Findings

What are the post-mortem findings for COVID-19?

In general, from the other literature, the post-mortem features of COVID-19 as widely
reported:

1) diffuse alveolar damage,

2) severe endothelial injury,

3) presence of intracellular virus and

4) widespread thrombotic microangiopathy.

Dr. Eric Topol from the USA had already made a systematic literature review and
shared on his Twitter regarding the findings of the post-mortem examination that
have been recorded from different countries. Since this disease is a new disease, a

proper systematic literature review needs to be done to compare the finding of the
post-mortem from all the respective centres.
