Fatal cases after Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 infection: Diffuse alveolar damage occurs only in a minority – results of an autopsy study

2022-10-04

Abstract excerpt

Compared with previously prevalent variants of SARS-CoV-2, the Omicron lineages BA.1 and BA.2 are known to be associated with mild clinical courses. In addition, well-established animal models do not develop severe diseases. To address whether the supposedly fatal cases after Omicron-BA.1/2 infection show the known COVID-19 organ alterations, especially in the lungs, 23 full and 3 partial autopsies in the deceased...
