SARS-CoV-2 has swamped the entire world, unfolding into a COVID-19 pandemic. Efforts are on to develop an understanding of the various aspects related to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19. A pathological autopsy can play a vital role in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease, which may be vital in evolving effective management strategies. Despite its significance in the present circumstances, only a limited number of pathological autopsies are being conducted worldwide. The paper stresses on the need for taking up pathological autopsies globally and discusses its present status and the way forward, along with international perspectives and recommendations for consideration of pathological autopsy.
SARS-CoV-2 肆虐全球，引发了 COVID-19 大流行。目前正在努力了解与 SARS-CoV-2 和 COVID-19 相关的各个方面。病理尸检可以在理解疾病的病理生理学方面发挥重要作用，这对于制定有效的管理策略可能至关重要。尽管在当前情况下具有重要意义，但全球范围内进行的病理尸检数量有限。本文强调了在全球范围内进行病理尸检的必要性，并讨论了其现状和未来发展方向，以及国际观点和建议，以供病理尸检考虑。
