From: Presence of SARS-CoV-2 in fetal organs via intraamniotic infection
SARS-CoV-2 RNA was verified by RNAscope in 21 fetal specimens, including small intestine of S01 (a), proximal side of fetal membrane of S04 (b), pancreas of S04 (c), skin of S04 (d), esophagus of S06 (e), maternal side of placenta of S06 (f), thyroid of S06 (g), thymus of S06 (h), heart of S07 (i), thymus of S16 (j), cerebellum of S20 (k), large intestine of S21 (l), small intestine of S21 (m), kidney of S38 (n), submandibular gland of S38 (o), skin of S38 (p), stomach of S38 (q), testis of S38 (r), thyroid of S38 (s), trachea of S38 (t), and skin of S39 (u). Scale bar, 50 μm. TEM analysis revealed the presence of virus-like particles (red arrows) in thyroid of S6 (v), kidney of S38 (w) and testis of S38 (x). Scale bar, 200 nm.
