Abstract
We report the case of an 18-year-old woman who presented to an outside hospital in respiratory distress and was found to have pulmonary eosinophilia. She remained profoundly hypoxaemic despite maximal ventilatory strategies and underwent cannulation for veno-venous extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The respiratory failure improved with time, using corticosteroids, and the veno-venous ECMO helped in stabilisation of the patient in the setting of profound hypoxaemia. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
