Abstract
Objective: To characterize infectious diseases of the respiratory system in Irkutsk based on autopsy data for 2023.
Material and methods: The results of 1166 autopsies of those who died in multidisciplinary hospitals in Irkutsk in 2023 were analyzed. The data of macro- and microscopic, immunohistochemical, bacterioscopic, microbiological studies, and PCR were evaluated.
Results: The total number of deaths from infectious diseases of the respiratory system was 683 - 59% of the total number of autopsies. Of these, acute pneumonia, including secondary, was 557 (48%). The etiology of secondary pneumonia is in most cases associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae, including in various combinations with other pathogens. The largest number of registered secondary pneumonias occurred during the period of increased incidence of acute respiratory viral infections and influenza. Among those who died from tuberculosis, HIV-infected individuals predominated; in 67% of cases, the etiology of the disease was associated with the Beijing genotype.
Conclusions: Infectious diseases of the respiratory system remain one of the most pressing problems in medicine, and acute secondary pneumonia is the most common complication and the most common cause of death of patients in somatic hospitals in Irkutsk.

The journal deals with original investigations on pressing problems of general pathology and pathologic anatomy, newest research methods, major issues of the theory and practice as well as problems of experimental, comparative and geographic pathology. To inform readers latest achievements of Russian and foreign medicine the journal regularly publishes editorial and survey articles, reviews of the most interesting Russian and foreign books on pathologic anatomy, new data on modern methods of investigation (histochemistry, electron microscopy, autoradiography, etc.), about problems of teaching, articles on the history of pathological anatomy development both in Russia and abroad.
