Abstract:
In individuals infected with COVID-19, histomorphometric analysis of all
structural components of the pancreas revealed a significant increase in age-related sclerotic and
trophic changes. This indicates that in COVID-19 infection, the functional areas of the pancreas
increased 1.4–2.4 times compared to the control group, with major changes occurring due to
atrophic and sclerotic alterations. Morphometric studies primarily showed enlargement of
pancreatic acinar structures, Langerhans islets, and stromal components compared to controls
[p2,3].
