Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in Severe Pulmonary Forms of Leptospirosis: A Report of Two Cases

Pulmonary involvement in leptospirosis is common. Severe pulmonary forms of leptospirosis (SPFL) carry high mortality. We report two cases of an otherwise healthy adult male from the western suburbs of India, admitted with severe pulmonary hemorrhage with extremely poor oxygenation. Veno-venous extr...

description Pulmonary involvement in leptospirosis is common. Severe pulmonary forms of leptospirosis (SPFL) carry high mortality. We report two cases of an otherwise healthy adult male from the western suburbs of India, admitted with severe pulmonary hemorrhage with extremely poor oxygenation. Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) was used as the last-rescue life-saving measure. Both the patients showed good pulmonary recovery within 2 weeks. Despite having thrombocytopenia, we experienced lesser bleeding complications requiring transfusions during the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) period.
