Pulmonary Pathology of Early-Phase 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pneumonia in Two Patients With Lung Cancer.

TL;DR: Pathologic examinations revealed that apart from the tumors, the lungs of both patients exhibited edema, proteinaceous exudate, focal reactive hyperplasia of pneumocytes with patchy inflammatory cellular infiltration, and multinucleated giant cells, which likely represent an early phase of the lung pathology of COVID-19 pneumonia.

SARS: Systematic Review of Treatment Effects

TL;DR: It was not possible to determine whether treatments benefited patients during the SARS outbreak, but clinical trials should be designed to validate a standard protocol for dosage and timing and to accrue data in real time during future outbreaks to monitor specific adverse effects and help inform treatment.

Co-infections in people with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: A low proportion of COVID-19 patients have a bacterial co-infection; less than in previous influenza pandemics; and these findings do not support the routine use of antibiotics in the management of confirmed CO VID-19 infection.

Pulmonary post-mortem findings in a series of COVID-19 cases from northern Italy: a two-centre descriptive study.

TL;DR: The predominant pattern of lung lesions in patients with COVID-19 patients is diffuse alveolar damage, as described in patients infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronaviruses.
