Description

A 51-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever and diarrhea. Chest X-ray revealed consolidation in the left lower lung field. Ceftriaxone and minocycline were given empirically, under the suspicion of bacterial or atypical pneumonia. In spite of treatment with antibiotics, the disease rapidly progressed to systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The diagnosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) accompanied with influenza (H1N1) 2009 was made because of positive findings of real-time polymerase chain reaction. While multidisciplinary treatment was performed, his condition was further deteriorated suggesting the excessive pro-inflammatory mediators. To remove them, we conducted polymyxin-B immobilized column-direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP), and his general condition recovered successfully. PMX-DHP may be a useful treatment choice for ARDS accompanied with influenza.
