title: [Pathomorphology of the lung in severe influenza A/H1N1].
abstract: Thirty-five autopsy cases of influenza A/HIN1 in Moscow were analyzed. Primary pathological changes were found in the trachea and lung. The lung showed a pattern of the exudative and proliferative stages of diffuse alveolar damage. In addition, there were signs of infectious-toxic shock associated with viremia, as suggested by pronounced changes in the brain, kidneys, liver, spleen, adrenals, and lymph nodes. Bacterial bronchopneumonia was detected in only 20% of cases.
