Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) complicating meningococcaemia.

D C Wilson1, P M Crean, J G Jenkins.   

Abstract

We describe a one year old boy with meningococcaemia complicated by the adult respiratory distress syndrome. Maintenance of oxygenation required a positive end-expiratory pressure of 20 cm H2O. Resultant barotrauma produced pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. Prompt recognition and treatment of this complication can reduce its high mortality rate.
