Abstract

The paper provides a review of the literature on pathologoanatomical features of different organs affected by SARS-CoV-2 virus. Signs of necrosis and dystrophy, various circulatory disorders were mainly detected. Morphologic features are not specific for COVID-19; they can also be detected in other systemic infections and shock. This should be taken into account during the pathological autopsy. At the same time, some studies show a connection between SARS-CoV-2 and some diseases with an etiology that is not fully understood, so additional research is required.
