Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may cause severe respiratory illness with high mortality. SARS-CoV-2 infection results in a massive inflammatory cell infiltration into the infected lungs accompanied by excessive pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The lung histology of dead patients shows that some areas are severely emphysematous, with enormously dilated blood vessels and micro-thromboses.

Lung microhaemorrhage drives oxidative/inflammatory damage in α-antitrypsin deficiency.

Background: Animal models using intratracheal instillation show that elastase, unopposed by α-antitrypsin (AAT), causes alveolar damage and haemorrhage associated with emphysematous changes. The aim of the present study was to characterise any relationship between alveolar haemorrhage and human AAT deficiency (AATD) using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung explant samples from AATD subjects.

Methods: BAL samples (17 patients, 15 controls) were evaluated for free haem (iron protoporphyrin IX) and total iron concentrations.
