The paper describes 4 autopsy cases of myocarditis in elderly patients with confirmed coronavirus infection. It gives the data of a morphological study of heart specimens and a detailed characterization of a myocardial infiltrate. An immunohistochemical study with cellular infiltrate typing was performed. The fact that lymphocytic viral myocarditis can develop in COVID-19 was morphologically and immunohistochemically confirmed. The features of myocarditis in COVID-19 are the development of the former in the presence of coronaritis and the possibility of its concurrence with lymphocytic endo- and pericarditis.
本文描述了4例确诊感染冠状病毒的老年患者心肌炎尸检病例。文中给出了心脏标本的形态学研究数据以及心肌浸润的详细特征。进行了细胞浸润分型的免疫组织化学研究。从形态学和免疫组织化学方面证实了COVID-19可发生淋巴细胞性病毒性心肌炎。COVID-19心肌炎的特征是在存在冠状动脉炎的情况下发生前者,并且可能与淋巴细胞性心内膜炎和心包炎并发。
