Diffuse Alveolar Damage in COVID-19 Infection

ABSTRACT

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was the cause of the recent pandemic, with deaths worldwide. Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) was a universal finding in these COVID-19-related deaths. We present here a case of a COVID-19 infected pregnant woman dying from DAD, confirmed on histopathologic examination of the lungs on autopsy. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
