Successful treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous renal replacement therapy: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP) causes invasive infections and leads to high morbidity and mortality rates. Here, we report the case of a Chinese man with diabetes mellitus who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and septic shock due to hvKP belonging to the K1 strain. The patient was treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and continuous renal replacement therapy, in combination with antibiotics and recovered well. Clinicians should be aware of fatal infections caused … Show more

“…In patients with ARDS, accompanied by septic shock, the use of the VV ECMO procedure is not always possible, and sometimes there may be a need to consider switching to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Data on patients with COVID-19 show high mortality associated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [11].…”
