Severe coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is characterized by inflammation of the lungs
with increasing respiratory impairment. In fatal Covid-19, lungs at autopsy have been filled
with a clear liquid jelly. However, the nature of this finding has not yet been determined. The

as it is associated with inflammation and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and
may have the appearance of liquid jelly. Lung tissue obtained at autopsy from three …
