Background: Patients with traumatic injuries often represent the best hosts for healthcare-associated infections, especially pneumonia or bronchopneumonia. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic raised serious problems in the diagnosis and treatment of patients that had a SARS-CoV-2 infection and associated nosocomial bacterial bronchopneumonia. In forensic medicine, these aspects need to be considered when establishing the cause of death and the distinction between the two types of bronchopneumonia is of particular importance. Methods: We present nine cases that were autopsied at the Institute of Forensic Medicine Timisoara between 1 June 2020 and 31 December 2021, that presented traumatic injuries, a SARS-CoV-2 infection, and bronchopneumonia. Results: We focused on the main findings of the macroscopic and microscopic aspects of lung tissues. Conclusions: We consider that the aspects we highlighted in this study, can be very useful in forensic practice in cases with a pluri-factorial pathology. |
