Abstract
Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe form of pneumonia that is mainly treated with conservative treatment, including antibiotics. We report a unique case of necrotizing pneumonia due to group A streptococcus infection in an 18-month-old boy who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Following surgical lobectomy, the child was weaned off ECMO and recovered uneventfully.Entities:
