Abstract
The study of the human corpses who died from the coronavirus infection COVID-19 allows to define the exact cause of death, which helps clinicians in choosing a timely and effective treatment to reduce mortality. The study analyzed the current literature with the results of studies of cadaveric material and described our own pathological observations the macro- and microscopic picture that was encountered during autopsies. The description of cases of autopsies of patients who died from COVID-19 is necessary, and certainly important for a comprehensive analysis of this problem and is of high clinical and epidemiological interest.
