    Abstract Objectives: Performing autopsies in a pandemic scenario is challenging, as the need to understand pathophysiology must be balanced with the contamination risk. A minimally invasive autopsy might be a solution. We present a model that combines radiology and pathology to evaluate postmortem CT lung findings and their correlation with histopathology.
    Methods: Twenty-nine patients with fatal COVID-19 underwent postmortem chest CT, and multiple lung tissue samples were collected. The chest CT scans were analyzed and quantified according to lung involvement in five categories: normal, ground-glass opacities, crazy-paving, small consolidations, and large or lobar consolidations. The lung tissue samples were examined and quantified in three categories: normal lung, exudative diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), and fibroproliferative DAD. A linear index was used to estimate the global severity of involvement by CT and histopathological analysis.
    Results: There was a positive correlation between patient mean CT and histopathological severity score indexes - Pearson correlation coefficient (R) = 0.66 (p = 0.0078). When analyzing the mean lung involvement percentage of each finding, positive correlations were found between the normal lung percentage between postmortem CT and histopathology (R=0.65, p = 0.0082), as well as between ground-glass opacities in postmortem CT and normal lungs in histopathology (R=0.65, p = 0.0086), but negative correlations were observed between ground-glass opacities extension and exudative diffuse alveolar damage in histological slides (R=-0.68, p = 0.005). Additionally, it was found is a trend toward a decrease in the percentage of normal lung tissue on the histological slides as the percentage of consolidations in postmortem CT scans increased (R =-0.51, p = 0.055). The analysis of the other correlations between the percentage of each finding did not show any significant correlation or correlation trends (p ≥ 0.10).
    Conclusions: A minimally invasive autopsy is valid. As the severity of involvement is increased in CT, more advanced disease is seen on histopathology. However, we cannot state that one specific radiological category represents a specific pathological correspondent. Ground-glass opacities, in the postmortem stage, must be interpreted with caution, as expiratory lungs may overestimate disease.

    Abstract Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a chronic vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by trypanosomatids, considered endemic in 98 countries, mainly associated with poverty. About 50,000-90,000 cases of VL occur annually worldwide, and Brazil has the second largest number of cases in the world. The clinical picture of VL is fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and pancytopenia, progressing to death in 90% of cases due to secondary infections and multi-organ failure, if left untreated. We describe the case of a 25-year-old female who lived in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, who had recently taken touristic trips to several rural areas in Southeastern Brazil and was diagnosed post-mortem. During the hospitalization in a hospital reference for the treatment of COVID-19, the patient developed acute respiratory failure, with chest radiographic changes, and died due to refractory shock. The ultrasound-guided minimally invasive autopsy diagnosed VL (macrophages containing amastigote forms of Leishmania in the spleen, liver and bone marrow), as well as pneumonia and bloodstream infection by gram-negative bacilli.

    Abstract Background: Lung fibrosis is a major concern in severe COVID-19 patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV). Lung fibrosis frequency in post-COVID syndrome is highly variable and even if the risk is proportionally small, many patients could be affected. However, there is still no data on lung extracellular matrix (ECM) composition in severe COVID-19 and whether it is different from other aetiologies of ARDS.
    Methods: We have quantified different ECM elements and TGF-β expression in lung tissue of 28 fatal COVID-19 cases and compared to 27 patients that died of other causes of ARDS, divided according to MV duration (up to six days or seven days or more). In COVID-19 cases, ECM elements were correlated with lung transcriptomics and cytokines profile.
    Results: We observed that COVID-19 cases presented significant increased deposition of collagen, fibronectin, versican, and TGF-β, and decreased decorin density when compared to non-COVID-19 cases of similar MV duration. TGF-β was precociously increased in COVID-19 patients with MV duration up to six days. Lung collagen was higher in women with COVID-19, with a transition of upregulated genes related to fibrillogenesis to collagen production and ECM disassembly along the MV course.
    Conclusions: Fatal COVID-19 is associated with an early TGF-β expression lung environment after the MV onset, followed by a disordered ECM assembly. This uncontrolled process resulted in a prominent collagen deposition when compared to other causes of ARDS. Our data provides pathological substrates to better understand the high prevalence of pulmonary abnormalities in patients surviving COVID-19.
