Severe ARDS caused by adenovirus: early initiation of ECMO plus continuous renal replacement therapy

Abstract: The reported survival rates of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by human adenovirus (HAdV) pneumonia are poor. The results do not differ much in immunocompetent patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). We report two immunocompetent patients with severe ARDS complicating HAdV pneumonia who were treated successfully and survived to discharge. Compared with previous cases, our cases might have benefited from several factors. First, the time interval between … Show more

“…According to the current study and case reports in the literature, ARDS therapy secondary to adenovirus includes respiratory support, limited fluid, antiviral drugs, HFOV, ECMO and SRRT (3,4,8,9). Although we started ECMO treatment on the third day of hospitalization, we did not reduce the ventilator's values in accordance with the goal of restraining lungs and preventing the toxic effects of oxygen.…”

“…Currently, the efficacy of this drug, which is approved for the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis in the patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), has not been proven against adenovirus in randomized controlled studies by FDA (Food and Drug Administration). However, in the literature, there are case series and small studies indicating that it is effective in patients with ARDS secondary to adenovirus (3,8,9). Kim et al stated that they had a successful result with the early onset ofcidofovir in seven adult patients with severe pneumonia secondary to adenovirus and with no immunodeficiency (3).…”

“…Whether high levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in patients with adenovirus infection contribute the worse outcome warrants further investigation. ECMO support for severe adenoviral infection has been reported in several studies [10,33,34] . Retrospective data from the extracorporeal life support organization (ELSO) registry showed that pediatric patients with AV infection supported with ECMO, had a survival to hospital discharge of 38% which was even lower in neonates [8] .B More recently, Ramanathan et al observed over the last 25 years ELSO registry across all age groups who needed ECMO for severe adenoviral pneumonia in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients, the hospital mortality was 58% with no signi cant improvement from 1992 to 2016 [12] .…”
