Abstract:
A case of Legionella pneumonia, severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multiple organ failure is described in a patient who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) prior to transfer to a hospital with ECMO facilities. She eventually made a good recovery, highlighting the potential benefits of ECMO in patients with severe and refractory ARDS.
