The Spectrum of Digestive Tract Histopathologic Findings in the Setting of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 Infection: What Pathologists Need to Know

Although the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 is known primarily to affect the respiratory system, current evidence supports its capability to infect and induce gastrointestinal tract injury. Data describing the histopathologic alterations of the digestive system in patients inf...

description Although the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 is known primarily to affect the respiratory system, current evidence supports its capability to infect and induce gastrointestinal tract injury. Data describing the histopathologic alterations of the digestive system in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 are becoming more detailed, as the number of studies is increasing and the quality of our insight into the infection and the histopathologic findings is improving. This review highlights the range of pathologic findings that could be observed in gastrointestinal specimens from patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 and the potential underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of this disease.
