Pathology - Presented by Dr Mike Osborn and Dr Brian Hanley

Explore the histopathological features of COVID-19 in a comprehensive 46-minute lecture presented by Dr. Mike Osborn, RCPath President, and Dr. Brian Hanley, Cellular Pathologist at Imperial NHS Trust. Delve into postmortem findings, including diffuse alveolar damage, viral tropism, and quantitative real-time PCR. Examine case presentations featuring viral data, macroscopic findings, and disseminated mucormycosis. Learn about patterns of diffuse alveolar damage, virus identification techniques, and electron microscopy applications in COVID-19 research. Gain valuable insights into the pathological aspects of the disease through this informative presentation from The Royal College of Pathologists, concluding with a discussion of key references and findings.
