Figure 2. Microthrombi in the interalveolar Septa of a Lung from a Patient Who Died from Covid-19.

Figure 2.

The interalveolar septum of this patient (Patient 4 in Table S1A in the Supplementary Appendix) shows slightly expanded alveolar walls with multiple fibrinous microthrombi (arrowheads) in the alveolar capillaries. Extravasated erythrocytes and a loose network of fibrin can be seen in the intraalveolar space (hematoxylin–eosin staining; the scale bar corresponds to 50 μm).
