Characterizing tissue pathology seen in cases of lung injury associated with e-cigarette or vaping product use (including the device, liquid, refill pods, and cartridges) is important to further understand the spectrum of pathology and the pathogenesis of lung injury. Evaluation of both fresh and fixed tissues can help improve our understanding during this outbreak. CDC’s Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch can provide assistance in the evaluation of fixed tissue specimens.
