COVID-19 infeksiyonunun otopsi ve biyopsi raporlarına göre patolojik özellikleri

Abstract

Novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in December 2019 in Chinese town Wuhan and considered as a pandemic by World Health Organization. The disease has variety of symptoms including fever, shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, loss of smell and taste and diarrhea. While the majority of cases have mild symptoms, some progress to viral pneumonia, multi-organ failure, or cytokine storm and mortality is mostly caused by hypoxemic respiratory failure. Until now, more than 3.5 million people worldwide were infected and more than 240.000 mortality has been occurred. Thus, there is now evidence the disease may affect variety of organs according to accumulating biopsy and autopsy studies. Such pathological studies have potential role on the understanding of clinical outcomes and in the development of novel targeted therapeutic approaches. Given these aforementioned data, in the current manuscript we have summarized the pathological features of COVID-19 derived from biopsy and autopsy series. / Yeni koronavirüs 2019 hastalığı (COVID-19) akut respiratuvar sendromu korona virüs 2 (SARS-COV-2) ilk olarak Çin’in Wuhan şehrinde aralık 2019 tarihinde saptanmış olup, dünya sağlık örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak kabul edilmiştir. COVID-19 infeksiyonu ateş, nefes darlığı, öksürük, halsizlik, ishal, koku ve tat alma bozukluğu gibi şikayetlere neden olabilmektedir. Hastalık yüksek oranda asemptomatik geçirilse bile bazı hastalarda viral pnömoni, solunum yetmezliği, çoklu organ yetmezliği ve sitokin fırtınası gelişebilmekte ve ölüme neden olabilmektedir. Şimdiye kadar 3.5 milyonun üzerinde insan enfekte olmuş olup, 240.000 üzerinde insan ölmüştür. Biyopsi ve otopsi raporlarında akciğer dışı birçok organında tutulduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu bilgilerin yeni tedavi modalitelerinin gelişmesine yardımcı olabileceği ümit edilmektedir. Bu derlemede COVID-19 infeksiyonu olan hastalarda yapılmış biyopsi ve otopsi raporlarında covid enfeksiyonuna bağlı organ tutulumları ve tipleri detaylıca tartışılmıştır.
