Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a successful salvage treatment in an HIV-positive patient with Pnemocystis jirovecii pneumonia

HIV-positive patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and severe respiratory failure have a high risk of mortality. In this paper we describe a case of a patient who was hospitalized for Pneumocystis pneumonia and newly diagnosed HIV-infection. His respiratory function deteriorated rapidly, necessitating early initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. The patient recovered well and was discharged after a prolonged hospital stay totaling 191 days. This paper highlights the use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in patients with HIV-infection and pneumocystis pneumonia and provides a review of previously published literature on the same topic
