Description
Trauma patients are prime hosts for lung infections caught in hospital. The COVID-19 years made diagnosis harder, when viral and bacterial pneumonia overlapped. Georgiana-Denisa Gavriliţă and co-authors present nine autopsy cases from a forensic institute in Timisoara. All nine patients had traumatic injuries, a SARS-CoV-2 infection, and bronchopneumonia. The cases date from June 2020 to December 2021. The team compared imaging with what the lung tissue showed at autopsy, both to the eye and under the microscope.
Distinguishing the two pneumonias matters when a cause of death is set. The tissue features they highlight are offered as help for forensic work. Such cases often mix several diseases at once.
