Abstract
This paper briefly summarizes the late-breaking session "Pathology and COVID-19" that took place at the virtual congress of the German Society of Pathology on June 6, 2020. The lectures tackled a broad variety of aspects, including the German Registry for COVID-19 autopsies (DeRegCOVID), the detection methods of SARS-CoV‑2 in pathological material, the typical lung findings in severe COVID-19 cases, the distinct (micro)vascular changes and the cardiac and gastrointestinal involvement in COVID-19. In summary, in this first scientific meeting in German pathology on the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that pathologists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland have reacted very quickly to the pandemic and have established an autopsy program that has led to medically highly relevant findings.Entities:
