Склеродермия — редкое заболевание соединительной ткани, одними из наиболее частых причин смерти при котором являются инфекционные осложнения, вплоть до развития сепсиса. Целью работы явился анализ двух клинических случаев системной склеродермии, вызвавших гибель пациентов. Материалы и методы. Представлены результаты аутопсии двух пациентов с диагнозом системной склеродермии: женщины 63 лет и мужчины 59 лет. В каждом случае произведена аутопсия с макроскопическим исследованием всех органов и тканей. Для гистологического исследования в случае 1 были забраны кусочки легких, сердца, печени, почек, кожи, пищевода, тонкой и толстой кишок, правой поясничной мышцы, тел I и III поясничных позвонков; в случае 2 были забраны кусочки легких, сердца, печени, почек, кожи, пищевода, тонкой и толстой кишок, поднижнечелюстной слюнной железы. Использованы окраски гематоксилином и эозином и методом Ван-Гизона. Заключение. В случае 1 выявлены изменения органов и тканей в виде склероза дермы, пневмофиброза, эрозивного эзофагита, язвенных дефектов кожи, признаки септикопиемии (абсцессы почек, легкого, левой и правой поясничных мышц, остеомиелита II и III поясничных позвонков), очаговой пневмонии в стадии разрешения. Непосредственной причиной смерти явился сепсис. В случае 2 наблюдались склероз дермы, стенки тонкой кишки, почек, фибринозный перикардит в стадии организации, мелкоочаговый кардиосклероз, внебольничная двусторонняя очаговая пневмония. Непосредственной причиной смерти явилась внебольничная двусторонняя очаговая пневмония. Представленные наблюдения демонстрируют характерную клиническую и гистологическую картину системного склероза и подтверждают приведенные в литературе данные о заболеваемости и смертности больных системным склерозом в результате инфекционных осложнений.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article presents two autopsy cases of systemic scleroderma that led to the death of patients, as well as a review of the literature on the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease, with a focus on the development of infectious complications in these cases. Scleroderma is a rare connective tissue disorder, and one of the most common causes of death is infectious complications, including sepsis. The aim of this study was to analyze two clinical cases of systemic scleroderma that resulted in the death of patients. Materials and methods. The results of autopsies of two patients with a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis are presented: a 63-year-old woman and a 59-yearold man. In each case, an autopsy was performed with a macroscopic examination of all organs and tissues. For histological examination, in case 1, samples were taken from the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, skin, esophagus, small and large intestines, right lumbar muscle, and bodies of the I and III lumbar vertebrae; in case 2, samples were taken from the lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, skin, and esophagus.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>системная склеродермия</kwd><kwd>системный склероз</kwd><kwd>аутопсийные случаи</kwd><kwd>инфекционные осложнения</kwd><kwd>сепсис</kwd><kwd>пневмония</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>systemic scleroderma</kwd><kwd>systemic sclerosis</kwd><kwd>autopsy cases</kwd><kwd>infection complications</kwd><kwd>sepsis</kwd><kwd>pneumonia</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Volkmann ER, Andréasson K, Smith V.
